Please note: This is a 2022 podcast – currently in process of re-applying for 2023 accreditation
We are joined today by Sarah Hendricks, author of Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Understanding Life Experiences from Early Childhood to Old Age.
We take a look at some of the ways ASD presents differently in women/girls – which has largely gone unresearched and unreported until recently. We explore some of the common difficulties faced by women/girls on the spectrum, and some of the ways we can best journey with these clients.
