What Autistic Girls Network is aiming to achieve is recognition from the professionals, whether medical or educational.
We aim to rally for support and raise the profile of female Autism. We hope with us all working together we can affect change. We can sign post you to support networks and are already in discussion with recognised professionals who feel this is needed. This is a national problem and feel we are stronger as one voice.
Even specialist ASC provision are often taking girls without adapting to their very different needs and vulnerability. We feel local Authorities have a duty to provide environments that are suitable for girls, that reflect their needs and allow them to achieve the best educational outcomes.
