Beyond Stereotypes
On the 8-10th September 2021, we hosted a 2.5 day conference sharing new research about autism and gender
In this conference (streamed via YouTube) we shared research about autism and gender, and how we are challenging the stereotypes with three themes: recognition, education and futures.
We are uploading the majority of presentations to a YouTube playlist – you can find it HERE.
