Autistic presentation and diagnosis in girls and women
Delivered by Kids Inspire therapists, Vicky and Jasmine
Cost: £40
Autistic girls and women have for many years been overlooked and underdiagnosed, leading to misdiagnoses, missed opportunities to access appropriate and timely support and therefore fewer opportunities for fostering and developing self-understanding.
Traits often present differently in women and girls and as such do not always follow the stereotypical autistic traits often picked up earlier in males.
Who is this for?
This training is designed for professionals working with children and young people in a range of settings, including schools, health, social care, voluntary sector, and therapeutic services.
It is intended for those supporting children and young people in any professional capacity.
What you’ll learn
why autism is so often overlooked in girls and women and explore the key differences in presentations in the male / female binary
how we can approach assessment and diagnosis through a gender sensitive lens
how to support families who are trying to access support and the barriers they may experience
Participants will gain insights to help identify and support autistic girls and young women earlier – ensuring their needs are recognised and understood.
