Neurodivergence in girls/women
Facilitator(s): Pat Mirenda, Ph. D and Nicole Provost
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm | Location:
Awareness of the inequities experienced by autistic girls and women can be the first step to resolving the barriers they face. In this workshop, an autistic self-advocate and a non-autistic educator/researcher will discuss the challenges experienced by girls and women on the spectrum. Gender stereotypes may influence perceptions of autism characteristics, contributing to delays in diagnosing individuals identified as female at birth. In addition, girls and women are often overlooked in autism research, training, and service provision. The presenters will offer some potential solutions to these challenges, based on both personal experience and research.
