SUMMARY:Navigating ASD Through Adolescence
DESCRIPTION:Adolescence is a challenging period for any individual\, but it can be especially complex for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). During this time\, both boys and girls must navigate the physical changes of puberty\, increasingly demanding academic pressures\, and evolving social dynamics\, including friendships and romantic relationships. Girls\, in particular\, face distinct difficulties in friendships\, academics\, and mental health. They may exhibit unique characteristics\, such as a higher prevalence of co-occurring conditions like eating disorders and a preference for imaginative or fantasy play. This presentation will explore these experiences\, the challenges they present\, and the interventions that can support adolescents with ASD during this critical development stage. \nRegistration opens November 6th \nCLICK TO REGISTER\n  \nPresenter: Sara White\, PhD\, BCBA-D \nSara completed her master’s degree in applied behavior analysis at the University of the Pacific (2000) and doctoral degree in clinical psychology at Binghamton University (2005).
