Sometimes I come across a little tidbit that I like to call an SLP SNACK! It is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that I feel is interesting and worth a discussion.

This podcast is based off of a talk by Dr. Mandy, a clinical psychologist who discussed ways in which to improve the recognition of females on the autism spectrum at an Autism Community Training (ACT) research conference in April 2018. At this talk Dr. Mandy discussed the history of autism, common myths about autism, the gender ratio in autism, and the female autism phenotype. I reference a blog post I wrote on this topic - to read the blog click here.

This specific podcast episode is a bite sized introduction into the popular topic of autism in girls and the improvement of the recognition of females on the autism spectrum. I discuss the reasons why females with autism are often under-diagnosed and some of the differences between females and males with autism. 

As always, please rate and review my podcast and thank you for listening!
