🌸 Introduction to Autism in Girls

Gentle, practical guidance to help you spot the signs and truly understand autistic girls

Are you noticing signs that don’t quite “fit” the typical autism profile?

Do you feel like something is being missed — but you can’t quite put your finger on it?

You’re not alone — and this course was created to help.

Autism in girls is still so often misunderstood, masked, or entirely overlooked. Many girls go under the radar for years because their signs don’t match the traditional (often male-based) diagnostic criteria. This support package gives you the tools to notice, understand, and support these girls — with clarity and compassion.

🌱 Why It Matters

So many girls grow up feeling misunderstood, exhausted by masking, and unsure of why the world feels so hard. Early understanding can change that.

When we recognise what’s really going on, we can respond with empathy, adapt our approach, and help girls feel truly seen — just as they are.
