In this episode of  The Child Psych Podcast , psychologist Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos shares practical guidance for navigating some of the most important conversations parents will have with their autistic daughters. We discuss why these conversations should begin earlier than many parents realize and how to approach sensitive topics in a way that feels safe, supportive, and manageable. If you've ever wondered how to help your daughter understand her changing body while building confidence, self-advocacy, and healthy boundaries, this episode offers valuable insights—and a helpful introduction to Dr. Poulopoulos' work supporting autistic girls and their families. Ready to dive deeper? Dr. Poulopoulos' comprehensive workshop,  Autistic Girls, Puberty & Sexuality , provides practical tools, strategies, and guidance for supporting autistic girls through these important developmental years. For families raising autistic sons, her companion workshop,  Autistic Boys & Sexuality , offers equally valuable support tailored to the unique needs of boys. Hosted on Acast.
