Rewriting the Narrative
Lessons about inclusion from autistic adolescent girls who stop attending school
A subtitled video of the webinar from May 2021 by Dr Ruth Moyse.
Children who stop attending school are often called truants or school refusers, placing the reason for their absence as a problem within the child. This session proposes a different way of interpreting their absence, by sharing lessons learnt from research with 10 autistic girls who stopped attending mainstream secondary schools.
