In this episode we speak with Dr Becky Morgan, Educational Psychologist, about how language can impact on the identities of adolescent, autistic girls.
We discuss how words can influence how autistic girls see themselves and are seen by others and how power also feeds into this identity. We explore how different dialogues can help or hinder young autistic girls and how we can use this to help support them to develop positive self-concepts.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
