In recent years, questions have been raised about the ratio of males to females diagnosed as having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is no hard evidence of numbers but whatever the true ratio, clinical referrals to a specialist diagnostic centre such as The National Autistic Society’s Lorna Wing Centre have seen a steady increase in the number of girls and women referred.
Join Dr Jacqui Ashton-Smith for a live chat session on Thursday 2nd May 2013 at 12 noon to ask your questions about women and girls on the autism spectrum and what teaching strategies can be adopted to support them.
If you're interested in our live Q&A session, enter your details above and we'll send you an email reminder before the event is due to begin.
