Dr. Aurelie welterlin - The NC Center for Autistic Women and Girls

Dr. Welterlin and her colleagues at NCAWAG are pleased to provide outstanding neurodiverse-affirming care* to autistic women, girls, and gender diverse individuals, as well as men and boys.

Unfortunately, many autistic women live unsupported and undiagnosed. Better access to information and advocacy is leading to rapid and accurate self-identification. However, few options exist for help from professionals who understand the nuances of autistic women, girls, and gender diverse individuals, especially those who are highly masked. Many individuals never receive a correct diagnosis. Instead, they are chronically misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and suffer from cycles of autistic meltdowns, shut down, and burn out.
