What we’re about

**ALL IN-PERSON EVENTS WILL BE HELD IN OR AROUND LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM**

A group for all adult (18+) women that are neurodivergent or who’ve maybe taken the AQ test for adult autism, wondered, and want to explore possible autism free from medicalisation and ‘male brain’ theories. There’s really not much known and even less support for women that are autistic and/or neurodivergent in other ways so one of the points of this group is to explore autism and neurodivergence in women and the other is to create our own community networks and critical definitions.

This isn’t a mental health support group, it’s about a place to be ourselves. We’re interested in self-definition, critical theories of neurodiversity, fluid identities, alternative therapies and in what is needed for autistic women to enjoy life. We’re also interested in making better use of digital tools to collaborate and reduce isolation. If you are looking for mental health support, please view our resource page (linked below).

You can view our group policy here. Please be respectful of communication and sensory issues and note that we can’t always accommodate mental health co-(or other)diagnoses. Everyone talking at once through to lurking in the background are absolutely fine as long the space stays constructive and bearable for auties. Come and go as you please, post to comments if you have questions or want to touch base before coming along in person.

Please note this is a trans-inclusive space welcome to both cis and trans women. We have previously admitted all non-binary people however as this is a women's group, it is inappropriate as non-binary people are not 'woman-lite' and they have their own distinct and varied gender identities.

However, if you are non-binary with an experience of womanhood or are trans femme, you are welcome to join the group.
