In this compelling episode, NYC Special Education Attorney Adam Dayan sits down with Gemma, the mother of “Penny,” a longtime client of Law Offices of Adam Dayan. Gemma shares her personal journey navigating the often-overlooked challenges girls face in receiving an autism diagnosis. With symptoms that tend to present differently—often more masked—many girls, like Penny, are diagnosed later than boys. Penny wasn’t identified as being on the spectrum until ages 6 to 7, resulting in missed vital early intervention services. Adam and Gemma discuss the critical need for awareness, timely diagnosis, and tailored support for girls with autism.
