This presentation offers valuable insights into the unique experiences, strengths, and shared characteristics of autistic girls and women, shedding light on why this demographic often goes unnoticed, resulting in delayed or missed diagnoses.
Pulling from the clinical career of social worker Dori Zener, viewers will gain a deeper understanding of the needs of neurodivergent girls and women and acquire practical guidance to help them flourish.
Parents and/or caregivers of autistic girls/young women ages 0-18, autistic self-advocates and professionals are encouraged to join the workshop.
