From me
I'm Dr Lucy Russell, a UK child clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I lead the team at Everlief Child Psychology, where we carry out autism assessments, and autism runs in my own family. I see so many girls whose autism was missed for years, which is why I created this checklist.
