In our latest At The Forefront, our CEO Mary Rose Gunn speaks with Cathy Wassell, founder of Autistic Girls Network, about why so many neurodivergent girls and non-binary young people are overlooked and misdiagnosed by a system that isn’t set up to identify their internal, hidden traits of autism.
They discuss how autistic students are crashing out of an education system that doesn’t understand their needs, and how Cathy is filling that gap. From teacher training to The Haven – an online school offering a neuro-affirming alternative to mainstream schools, Autistic Girls Network is reshaping how autistic girls access the support they deserve.
