Event Description

Why has autism been seen as a male condition for so long? 

Neuroscientist Professor Gina Rippon explores the science behind The Lost Girls of Autism, revealing how generations of women and girls have been misdiagnosed, overlooked, or silenced. 

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Rippon examines how autistic girls often mask their traits to fit in — and why that must change. This vital talk challenges outdated models and calls for a more inclusive understanding of neurodiversity.
