Autism in Girls and Women: What’s Different and Why it’s Often Missed

Autism in girls and women is frequently overlooked, misunderstood, or identified later in life due to differences in how it may present compared to traditional diagnostic expectations. Join Dr. Jennifer Cork for a 90-minute webinar exploring the unique experiences of autistic girls and women across the lifespan.

Topics will include masking and camouflaging behaviors, autistic burnout, challenges in diagnosis and assessment, the impact of late diagnosis, and important mental health considerations.

Designed for BCBAs, healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and those seeking a better understanding of Autism in girls and women, this presentation will provide practical insights to help participants recognize, support, and advocate for individuals whose needs may otherwise go unrecognized. Time will be reserved for audience questions and discussion.
