As part of TW Lit Fest 2025!
Join us on World Autism Awareness Day for an enlightening evening with Gina Rippon, renowned brain scientist and author of the groundbreaking new book, "The Lost Girls of Autism: The New Science of Neurodiversity in Women and Girls". This event is held on the same day as World Autism Awareness Day, emphasizing the importance of recognising and empowering women and girls with autism.
In an engaging in-conversation style talk, Gina will delve into the emerging science of female autism, exploring why it has been systematically ignored and misunderstood for so long. She will discuss how autism manifests differently in women and girls, and the concept of "camouflaging" – hiding autistic traits to fit in.
This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in neurodiversity, gender equality, and the latest research in psychology and neuroscience. Don't miss the opportunity to hear Gina Rippon's insights and join the conversation about this urgent and insightful topic.
About Gina Rippon: Gina Rippon is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroimaging at the Aston Brain Centre, Birmingham.
'A compelling exploration. Rippon is easily the most engaging communicator of neuroscience research working today. A truly fascinating must-read' Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell Women.
