My name is Libby Board, I am a 24 year old mother to two girls, who share with me many of the wonderful yet difficult at times, traits of Asperger's and ADHD.

Over the last few years I have been working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Fragile x. with my interest focused on abuse prevention and advocating for early intervention and family supports.

I have come to be involved with AWN after attending the 'Girls and Women with an Autism Spectrum Disorder World Inaugural Seminar,' held in Brisbane in 2009.  From there I met some amazing women who have encouraged me to learn more about myself, to accept and love the person I am, and to strive to achieve, not despite my differences but because of them!
