Diagnostic Center North: Interdisciplinary Assessment of Girls with Suspected Autism: Reframing our Thinking
Far more boys than girls are diagnosed with autism, but that might not be because more boys have autism. Often, autism in girls looks different from the stereotype of autistic behavior, which makes it more difficult to diagnose and easier for professionals to miss. When girls with autism are not accurately identified, they miss out on support that can help them understand their challenges, build skills, and excel in school. In this training, school psychologists and speech-language pathologists will learn how to work together to better assess and identify girls on the spectrum.
