For Families: Girls and autism

Half day course

This course is suitable for parents/carers, family members and friends of autistic girls or women, on the pathway or with a diagnosis of autism.

Autistic girls often demonstrate less traditionally obvious traits of autism or may mask their difficulties, and are therefore often misdiagnosed or diagnosed later than boys are.

Course aims:

• To develop an understanding of how autism is diagnosed
• To increase understanding of how autism may present differently in women and girls
• To develop a practical toolkit that can be beneficial to your daughter at home and school
