### 🌸 EFA: Support for Late-Identified Autistic Women

We’re EFA – a UK charity dedicated to supporting women who discover they are autistic later in life. Our work focuses on filling the gap in female-oriented autism support, recognising that many women have gone undiagnosed due to differences in how autism presents and long-standing diagnostic biases.
We offer two services:

This course is specially designed for women who received their autism diagnosis (or self-identification) later in life.
Each week, we explore topics such as:
✨ Understanding your diagnosis
✨ Looking back on life with self-compassion
✨ Gaining confidence and self-acceptance
✨ Developing strategies that work for you
✨ Connecting with others and sharing your story
It’s a safe and supportive space to process your experience and meet others on a similar journey.
