A community for autists that are not cisgender males. We discuss the struggles, triumphs, and mundane life events that come with our autistic experience. We're LGBTQIA+ inclusive. TERFS not welcome. We are open to those who are self-suspecting autism, self-diagnosed as autistic, and formally diagnosed autistic (regardless of age), as we recognize the barriers around formal diagnosis and assessment. Please engage kindly, read the rules, and use modmail if you have any questions.
