It is becoming increasingly acknowledged that bias in medical science most often impacts women and girls, and neuroscience is no exception. Gina Rippon, writer and neuroscientist, explores the history of autism and the exclusion and misdiagnosis of women and girls in her latest book The Lost Girls of Autism.

Her book delves into the ways that autistic girls are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression or personality disorders and only discover their neurodivergence later in life, when they have missed out on decades of support and understanding. Join us for a discussion about how Gina’s research is changing the story for autistic women.
