He has been awarded an OBE and CBE by the late Queen for services to children with Special Needs.In this nugget we discuss girls with Autism, the signs we can be looking for in girls in our classes that will help us to notice specific needs, and ideas on what we can do as teachers to support girls with Autism. All too often girls with Autism become excellent at masking their differences and challenges, especially at primary school, only to struggle alone during the teen years.
