World Autism Awareness Day: Beyond the Mask: Autism in Women, Late Diagnosis, Practicing Inclusion

£0.00

In this session, Lillie Jamieson, autistic entrepreneur and co-founder of Send It To Alex, sheds light on how autism often goes unnoticed in women due to societal conditioning and the pressure to conform. Drawing on her personal experience with a late autism diagnosis, Lillie will explore the reasons why many women are being diagnosed later in life, and the unique ways autism presents in women that make it harder to detect.
Lillie will also share her journey in building Send It To Alex, the first BCorp employment support service for neurodivergent individuals, and how her company helps create inclusive work environments tailored to neurodivergent needs. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the everyday challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, what it feels like to navigate life with autism, and practical tips for supporting autistic colleagues, friends, and family members.
Whether you’re seeking clarity on your own neurodivergence, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand autism from a fresh perspective, this talk will help break down stereotypes and offer tools for practicing inclusion.
