We have a lot of work to do about this incredibly important and distressing reality.

People on the spectrum, and girls and women in particular, are at high risk of su***de; siblings of autistic people are also at heightened risk.

New office coming together!

I'm taking a poll for a training I'm giving next month on working with females with ASD:

"What are your 3 picks for the most important issues/skills/challenges to focus on specifically for females with ASD in treatment?" Specific answers please - e.g., dealing with how girls bully versus social skills. This is about the unique and specific needs females have (though some cross over gender certainly).

Thank you for your help! 😃
