Biases in Diagnosis Ep 2: Autism Spectrum Conditions with Dr Rachel Moseley

Join us this time as we discuss gender biases in diagnosis of autistic women with Dr Rachel Moseley. Dr Moseley is a senior lecturer in psychology and researcher at Bournemouth University. Her research is centred around Autism Spectrum Conditions, particularly around the experiences and mental health of autistic adults. In this episode, we discuss the experiences of autistic women, the importance of avoiding the use of stereotypes that perpetuate stigma about autistic individuals, and the importance of overcoming the barriers to correct diagnosis of autistic girls and women.
