In this Public Academy session, we explore what lies behind this adaptive capacity in both adults and children.
Yvonne Groen will discuss the broad spectrum of autistic traits in women and men, highlighting why autism is often overlooked and the mental health consequences for autistic individuals and their loved ones.
Steffie van der Steen will focus on children and adolescents: How do they experience mainstream education? What challenges do they face in the classroom and in friendships? And what does this mean for schools and their wider environment?URL https://platform.forum.nl/nl/publieksacademie-leven-met-autisme Persons Yvonne Groen, Steffie van der Steen
