This conference, organised by The National Autistic Society, is a response to increasing calls from parents and professionals for specific information about autism in women and girls, as well as from women with autism who feel it is important to highlight their specific needs and the differences between autism in men and women. 

The event aims to explore further the issues around the possible under-diagnosis of women and girls with autism. Our keynote speaker will be presenting the latest research on this topic and discussing the implications for future research and practice, including prevalence rates, adaptation of diagnostic criteria and differences in presentation. 

Autism Women's Network has begun doing webinars, and we'd like to know what you want! 

We are putting together three interest surveys: one each for (1) autistic parents who are parenting autistic daughters, neurotypical parents and caregivers parenting daughters with autism (2) autistic women (3) and the professionals that work with us in order to figure out what the community needs, and where their interests are focused. 

(*) This is the first survey in the series.

We value your input and appreciate you taking the time to share your opinions and suggestions with us. Please follow the link to take the brief 10 question survey. Thank you!
