“Quirky” girls, struggling teenagers, burnt-out women. Autism has been historically underdiagnosed in girls and women, meaning many grow up without the right support and understanding. Drawing on her research and her lived experience of a late autism diagnosis, Dr Rachel Moseley explores the lesser known presentation of autism in girls and women, why it’s so difficult to diagnose, and what the consequences of growing up undiagnosed can be.
