Autistic girls face a different and particular struggle at school. Girls’ ability to mask in social settings often means that their autism goes undiagnosed, to the point that many face mental health issues as a result. In this episode, Digital Inc. Intern Emily speaks with Lizzie and Katie about her difficulties with a late autism diagnosis. They also talk about the impact of negative experiences with teachers, and what school or college staff could do more to support autistic girls.
