Pt 1: Are More People Autistic Nowadays? | Professor Gina Rippon

Gina Rippon is Professor Emeritus of Cognitive NeuroImaging at Aston University, and is a leading researcher in understanding how autism shows up differently in women and girls.


There seems to be a consensus in the media that there’s been an influx of autism diagnoses in recent years, and in part one Gina joins Dr Alex George to discuss whether this is actually the case, what the diagnosis process is like and whether being labelled as autistic is actually beneficial for the individual…


Plus, Gina unpacks how autistic people see the world differently and whether we have become more or less accepting of difference as a society.
