Health and Wellbeing for Women and Girls on the Autism Spectrum took place on October 28, 2015 at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The conference was presented by Autism Network Scotland (ANS) and the Scottish Women with Autism Network (SWAN). This was the second event for women and girls on the autism spectrum; the first was held in April 2015.
The conference was a unique opportunity for women on the spectrum to network with each other and learn about health and wellbeing. The day was a mix of informative presentations and interactive workshops.
