Unmasking the Invisible: Autistic Teen Girls

High-masking autistic teen girls often remain overlooked or misunderstood in psychological assessments, leading to missed or delayed diagnoses and insufficient supports. This course dives into the nuanced traits, lived experiences, and intersectional challenges faced by autistic teens who mask, equipping clinicians with the tools to better assess and support this population. This training will explore how camouflaging shapes their identity, relationships, and mental health. Participants will learn how to identify subtle autistic traits, consider the impact of camouflaging/masking on their experiences, and design affirming therapeutic interventions to support emotional regulation, self-understanding, and self-advocacy. By unmasking the unique experiences of these teens, clinicians can foster a deeper connection with their clients and provide the compassionate care they deserve.
