This interactive session is a safe, neuro-affirming and culturally sensitive space for parents of autistic girls aged 5-11 (diagnosed or suspected) to explore the challenges they are facing within a safe and accepting space.
It is an opportunity to get top-notch information, tools and understanding from a culturally sensitive, neuro-affirming autistic coach with decades of experience as an autistic woman, professional and mother.
It will cover:
Sharing lived experience of an all-autistic family
Capturing what is tricky for your family right now (ask me anything!)
Mythbusting fun
What is different in autistic girls?
Strengths, difficulties and superpowers
The impact of diagnosis, deficits and the medical model
How autistic brains work best
Autistic bodies and interoception
Masking and camouflaging – when they are different at home and at school
Intersectional issues – the impact of multiple disadvantage and discrimination
Celebrating the brilliance of difference
