When Schools Don’t See It The Struggle of Masking Autism in Girls

Описание: Does your child seem neurodivergent at home but not at school? You're not alone. Many girls with autism mask their symptoms in structured environments like school, leaving parents feeling unsupported and even doubted when pursuing an assessment.

In this episode, I respond to a heartfelt message from a listener struggling with this exact challenge. I share my own story, including how my daughter Bella masked her symptoms at school while presenting as neurodivergent at home.

I’ll provide practical advice, including:
✨ How to keep a detailed journal of behaviours and incidents.
✨ Using my 100 Signs of Autism PDF to track symptoms.
✨ Navigating conversations with unsupportive schools.
✨ Seeking external professional advice and advocating for your child.

This episode is here to remind you: Trust your gut and advocate for your child. Masking is real, and your concerns are valid.
