A Conversation About: Understanding Autism in Girls: Missed and Misunderstood
Dr. Anna Merrill, Licensed Psychologist

If you have a daughter with an ASD diagnosis or if you are wondering if you or your daughter may be Autistic you won’t want to miss this talk!!
This webinar will seek to illuminate information regarding ASD in girls and why it can often go missed or misunderstood. There is a growing body of literature that suggests that there is a male bias in our conceptualization of ASD. This presentation will review our growing understanding of how the presentation of symptoms and life experiences of girls with ASD may be different from boys. In light of this information, appropriate implications for treatment will be discussed.   

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED….Thank you!
