This webinar is intended for adults who are or who suspect they are on the spectrum, parents, other family members, and partners of autistic individuals, as well as professionals who support autistic individuals.    Autistic women often go unrecognized and undiagnosed.  As a result, studies suggest that the ratio of autistic males to autistic females is around 3 to 1. The speaker for this webinar, Marcia Eckerd, PhD. has been a licensed psychologist for more than 30 years. She has also been appointed to the CT ASD Advisory Council, serves on the Clinical Advisory Group of the Asperger’s Autism Network (AANE.org, and is on the  Board of Directors of NeuroClastic.org, an autistic nonprofit that provides education, opportunities, and resources for autistic individuals. Dr. Eckerd diagnoses and helps autistic individuals with self acceptance as neurodivergent.  She also helps them navigate achieving their goals. After years of working with autistic and other neurodivergent individuals, including those with Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD), she’s developed a speciality in diagnosing undiagnosed adults, especially women.    During this webinar, Dr. Eckerd will:   --Explore how the traits of autistic individuals who identify as female often differ from those of autistic men --Discuss why autistic women are often diagnosed so much later in life --Point out what families of girls and what adult women might expect in diagnostic assessments, and the differences in diagnostic criteria based on research about autistic women. --Outline some of the typical challenges and strengths of autistic women.
