Today’s topic is one that many people don’t recognize or acknowledge: autism in girls. Autism seems to present differently and to be much more commonly diagnosed in boys, so let’s learn more with today’s guest.

Dr. Melody Abbene is a clinical psychologist with a specialty in working with neurodivergent people, most of whom are autistic. She does therapeutic work and adult autism assessments and is based in Los Angeles.

Show Highlights:

  • The differences in autism that present internally (more common in girls) and externally (more common in boys)
  • Why girls with autism seem to blend in better with their peers
  • Where parents should begin if they suspect their child is neurodivergent
  • How parents can best communicate with the school team about the internal presentation of their child’s autism
  • How to tell that a child might have internalized autism
  • How “masking” is defined and described
  • Why girls are more likely to be labeled with emotional disturbances and misdiagnosed
