Recognizing Autism In Girls

Wednesday, September 10, 2025
12:00pm-2:00pm (PST) | Virtual Event

Can't attend the event live? Register to receive access to the recording!

Traditional models of autism identification often overlook or misinterpret the ways autism presents in girls and children from underrepresented racial, cultural, and linguistic communities—leading to missed opportunities for early support. In this interactive session, early intervention professionals will gain tools to recognize autism through a neuroaffirming and culturally responsive lens.
