In this episode, we explore an often misunderstood subject - autism in girls. Autism can often present very differently in girls, leading to misdiagnosis, late diagnosis or even a lack of diagnosis.

We're joined by two expert voices - Professor Francesca Happé, a professor in congnitive neuroscience, and Dr Freya Spicer-White, a consultant psychologist and chief clinical officer at Options Autism - as we break down what you need to know to help your autistic girls thrive.

In part 1, we delve into:

• Why autistic traits can be missed in girls
• Masking and the impact that it can have
• What signs to look for
• Advocating for your daughter
• Stratgies to support the development of social skills

And don't forget to join us for part 2, as we continue the conversation including how autism can also bring with it enormous potential.
