Autismhas been well documented as presenting differently in girls. As a result, many girls with autism have been misidentified as children with mental health afflictions or personality disorders. Classic autism markers manifest differently in girls, and overall girls are more likely to fly under the radar. This training will help practitioners to understand the nuances of autism in girls, the differences in presentation and the reasons autism in girls may be missed. Attendees can expect to learn autism in girls related statistics, facts, features, presentations and will learn how to proactively consider these factors when assessing for autism in girls. This Live Webinar will benefit any assessor or educator who wants to learn more about the world of girls and autism. * A special guest will share some of her personal experiences in navigating the world as a woman with autism.
