What is the talk about?

Girls with an autistic profile are too frequently overlooked as shy, highly strung or odd. They present late for consideration of a diagnosis and are too often missed altogether.
This presentation explores these issues and others specific to being female and autistic. Further it considers the rising voice of autistic females advocating for change.

Amanda has four children of her own, three are autistic and she is autistic herself. She runs the Facebook page ‘The Autistic Teacher’ and is director and founder of Autism South East. Amanda has been helping autistic people and their families for over 8 years and won a national Professional Autism Award in 2018 for her efforts.

Amanda will talk about autistic girls, the way that autism is sometimes internalised and the challenges that this brings.
