Question: How confident are you at identifying a need for an autism assessment referral in girls? The invisible girls, Hiding in plain sight - you’ve hea...rd the terms, we KNOW we are missing girls, but what does this mean?! #5 on this list is HUGE because these girls are often craving social interactions while missing social cues in a way that can be dangerous and harmful- it sets them up for being bullied, taken advantage of, and/or sexually abused. And less dangerous but equally harmful to self esteem and mental health - it can impact their ability to make and maintain friendships as they get older and as social relationships become more complex. And THIS is why we need to intervene early and give them the correct intervention to (hopefully) reduce negative results of misdiagnosis such as abuse or depression. Want to learn more? I currently have a one hour course on how to identify autism in girls, including real life videos and what to look for - and it’s only available until November 14th! Sign up at Bit.ly/AuGirlsCourse
