Course Description

 

This minicourse, led by Clinical Psychologists Professor Tony Attwood and Dr. Michelle Garnett, explores the unique traits and challenges of autistic girls and women, particularly those with ASD Level 1. It delves into how autism presents differently in females, focusing on adaptations like social masking and compensation, which can delay diagnosis and complicate support. You’ll learn about the common co-occurring conditions, pathways to diagnosis, and practical strategies for managing energy and promoting authentic self-identity.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or clinician, this course offers valuable tools to better understand and support autistic females. From energy accounting techniques to strategies for fostering meaningful relationships, this course provides evidence-based insights that can make a real difference. With a focus on building self-awareness and confidence, you’ll gain the skills needed to empower autistic girls and women to thrive in a neurotypical world.
