Hello and welcome to another episode of The Authority Show, with me, Jessica Killingley.  Now today's episode is one I've been looking forward to for a long, long time and that's because I am talking to the amazing Cathy Wassall. Cathy is not only the CEO of the Autistic Girls Network, but is now also the newcomer author of 'Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person', and is also currently doing a masters degree! Oh and also is the director and founder of her own social media agency! In this episode, we are exploring her road to being CEO of such a fantastic charity, how she came to write her book and some interesting, yet shocking statistics regarding diagnosis in the UK and Wales. Additional Resources:  Cathy's NEW book, 'Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person' is available HERE. If you know someone who you think this may be useful to, we urge you to share! AND  You can find out more about the Autistic Girls Network and all of its resources HERE _________________________ Key moments from this episode:
