Women of Autism
Focused-Creative-Fulfilled
We are an autistic founded, neurodivergent led resource where those who identify as autistic and ND can find peer support, advocacy assistance, and total solidarity.
Who We Are
Here at Women of Autism, we know that sometimes all it takes to change your life is a little empathic support. Since our inception, we have been determined to make that happen. The core of our efforts is to bring autistic and neurodivergent people together via peer to peer support, as well as assisting and promoting effective advocacy at home, at school, and within the workplace.
Ways We Help
Advocacy - Peer Support - Solidarity
Advocacy
With access to quality resources, and an intuitive, caring, and engaged network, we have found that people become easily empowered by their own abilities.
Our goal is to promote, and take an active role in sustaining this.
Peer Support
We believe that everyone has a unique skill set. We also know how important it is to be nurtured emotionally during the process of discovery and application of these innate traits. Reach out to us if you need peer support, and/or if you would like to benefit others through your lived experience.
Solidarity
As we are neurodivergent, we know firsthand what it feels like to be misunderstood, underutilized, and underrepresented. We see you. We hear you. Reach out to us if you need advocacy support, and/or if you want to lend a hand to others.
"It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great [wo]man is [s]he they who in the midst of the crowd keeps the independence of solitude"
