NEW BITESIZE GUIDE
Autism can present differently in girls than in boys, which can make it harder to recognise and understand. However, some boys may also present with traits and behaviours more commonly associated with the stereotypical presentation seen in girls. This guide introduces some of the key signs, traits, and experiences commonly associated with autism in girls.
What is Autism in Girls?
We’re launching our new guide, which outlines the key signs, traits, and experiences of autism in girls, why it can often go unrecognised, and how some boys may share similar presentations. See the visual for download instructions.
More posts are coming in this series, including a deeper look at masking and how it can impact autistic girls and women.
