AutismBC is pleased to collaborate with Provincial Outreach Program for Autism and Related Disorders (POPARD) to present a series of workshops in 2021, aiming to provide resources for families to help their kids (and parents) learn at school, at home, and in the community.

There will be no recording for this workshop (policy of POPARD). Stella will send you the Zoom link closer to the workshop day.

Woman and Girls on the Autism Spectrum

Research is showing that the incidence of girls and women on the autism spectrum is higher than previously thought. The expression of autism may be somewhat different in girls than it is in boys.
This session will:

• Discuss the differences between boys and girls on the autism spectrum
• Discuss strategies specific to supporting girls on the spectrum
• Provide resources and information on how to connect with other women and girls on the spectrum
