Autism Learns: Supporting Autistic Girls

Welcome to Autism Learns. Brought to you by the organisers of The Autism Show, we provide trusted and affordable online learning to parents, family carers and professionals who support children and adults on the autism spectrum.

This online learning series will look at how we can better understand and support autistic girls and young women.

Our team of leading autism specialists (many of whom are autistic themselves) will explore the differences in how autism presents in girls and what specific adjustments are needed at home and school. We’ll uncover how masking impacts mental health, examine sensory processing and eating disorders, and look ahead to the challenges of adulthood – puberty, periods and relationships. Throughout, our speakers will share a host of practical strategies to make a positive difference to you and the autistic girls you support.

You can choose to watch the webinars live and seek personalised advice from our speakers, and/or stream recordings afterwards and watch when most convenient to you.

Learnings include:

• Why are so many autistic girls undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or receive a delayed diagnosis?
• Identifying key issues for autistic girls at school and providing practical school-based support strategies
