Autism in Girls: Understanding Masking and Emotional Regulation
A practical 2-hour workshop for parents, carers, and autistic women
★ Have you ever wondered why autism can look different in girls and women?
★ Does your child (or do you) ‘mask’ in social situations, only to feel exhausted later?
★ Are you looking for a deeper understanding of emotional regulation and practical strategies to support wellbeing?
This insightful and supportive workshop explores the unique ways that autism can present in girls and women, with a particular focus on masking and emotional regulation.
Suitable for parents, carers, and autistic women, the session creates a safe and respectful space to learn, reflect, and connect.
Over two hours, we will:
● Explore how autism may present differently in girls and women, and why it’s often under-recognised or diagnosed later
● Understand masking — what it is, why it happens, and its impact on emotional health and identity
● Discuss emotional regulation and the unique challenges autistic girls and women may experience
● Learn practical strategies to support emotional wellbeing and reduce the need for masking, both at home and in everyday life
● Reflect on personal experiences (if comfortable) and connect with others who share similar journeys
Led by specialist practitioners, this workshop combines theory, reflection, and practical tools, empowering participants with a clearer understanding of autism in girls and women — and how to support authentic expression and emotional wellbeing.
