CFC25 EI Forum 10/28/25 - "Autism in Girls and Considerations for Medical Diagnostic Evaluations in EI”

Description

Are there really more autistic people today than there were 20 years ago? Are we diagnosing more boys than girls, and if so, why? What does the current literature suggest about the ways Autism presents differently in some girls? What is the field learning from late-diagnosed women who are Autistic? How might this information inform the way we approach neurodiversity with the children and families we support in EI? Join us for this virtual EI Forum where we will unpack new information and reflect on these questions together!
