This event is held on the same day as World Autism Awareness Day, emphasizing the importance of recognising and empowering women and girls with autism. In an engaging in-conversation style talk, Gina will delve into the emerging science of female autism, exploring why it has been systematically ignored and misunderstood for so long. She will discuss how autism manifests differently in women and girls, and the concept of “camouflaging” – hiding autistic traits to fit in. This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in neurodiversity, gender equality, and the latest research in psychology and neuroscience. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Gina Rippon’s insights and join the conversation about this urgent and insightful topic. Gina Rippon is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroimaging at the Aston Brain Centre, Birmingham.
