ABOUT
In this two-part webinar we will identify some of the barriers faced by autistic women, while also celebrating and empowering participants to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Â
Our aim is for participants to gain valuable insights and deepen their understanding of their diagnosis, but will also celebrate and empower them, support their journey to self-discovery, and help provide insight and understanding into their authentic selves.   Â
Many autistic women experience misunderstanding and judgement, whether they self-identify as autistic or have a formal diagnosis. The traditional male presentation of autism can make it difficult for clinicians and other professionals to recognise autism in women and fully appreciate their experiences.    Â
While many autistic women are adept at masking and camouflaging, this can significantly impact mental health and contribute to autistic burnout. For many, a diagnosis or self-identification is a pivotal step in unmasking and will support them on their journey toward embracing their true selves.  Â
The content of these sessions has been developed with input from autistic women, their families and professionals who work closely with autistic women.  Â
Topics to be discussed will include:
- Gender diversity (this will be a brief discussion only)Â
- Key characteristics common to autistic women Â
- The impact of masking on mental health Â
- When to seek professional support for mental health concerns Â
- What is autistic burnout and potential solutions? Â
- Staying safe online. Â
- Sharing your diagnosis with family, friends and professionals Â
- Dating and relationships Â
- Autistic women and eating behaviours Â
- Empowering women to self-advocate to family, partners, clinicians, educators and medical professionals. Â
- Journey to your authentic self. Â
