An Educational, Neuroaffirmative Visual Resource
I Am Growing Up: Puberty Social Visual Guide for Autistic Girls is a clear, respectful, and developmentally supportive visual guide designed to help Autistic girls understand the physical, emotional, and sensory changes associated with puberty. Puberty can be a confusing and unpredictable time, particularly for Autistic young people who benefit from concrete explanations, visual structure, and predictable information.
This guide presents puberty as a natural and expected part of growing up, using straightforward language and carefully designed visuals to support comprehension, reduce anxiety, and promote body autonomy and self understanding.
All of the graphics in this resource have been created by an Autistic designer and are exclusive to Flourish.
This social visual guide supports understanding of puberty through structured, step by step explanations, including:
What puberty is and why it happens
How the body changes over time during puberty
Growth of body hair and changes in body size
Changes to genitals explained in a factual, non judgemental way

Emotional and hormonal changes
Increased sweating, body odour, and personal hygiene
Reassurance that puberty looks and feels different for everyone

All content is presented in a calm, affirming manner that prioritises dignity, clarity, and emotional safety.
