You’re invited to join in our February Women’s Group Thursday, February 1, 2024

In each Women’s Group, we provide timely information on topics that are important to Autistic women. These sessions are intended to provide a safe space for women to connect, ask questions, share stories, and enjoy valuable peer connection.

In this particular session, we will continue previous discussions around relationships. This includes professional relationships, friendships at work, boundary setting, and sharing tips and tricks for socializing at work. If this is your first time, don’t worry–the content of each discussion is unique and previous attendance isn’t required to benefit from it.

All are welcome no matter how you identify, however, please be aware that information and resources provided are based on female assigned at birth. All gender expressions are welcome.

We know that historically and still today, autistic women continue to be under- and mis-diagnosed. While it was originally thought the ratio of autistic males to females was 4:1, research now tells us that number is actually closer to 2:1. Many women do not receive a diagnosis well into adulthood because the stereotypes associated with autism simply don’t fit females.

In each Women’s Group, we will build off of previous sessions and discussions, continuing to provide timely information regarding topics that are important to autistic women. In this particular session, we’ll highlight key resources for Autistic women in Alberta and throughout the world, including many excellent resources from the UK.

In a safe and welcoming small group setting, we’ll discuss these and more, sharing information, and enjoying valuable peer connection. First timers are always welcome as each session’s topics and discussion is unique.
