Autistic women are under-diagnosed due to a lack of research and testing in the female/AFAB population. This video is designed to give you a better understanding of commonly overlooked traits in autistic women in the hopes that together we can gain a better understanding of autism and create a better support network for the people who need it.

This was after YEARS of therapy (and all of the self tests in the world!). My diagnosis has brought up questions, frustration, doubt, but most importantly, a new level of self compassion and understanding. I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergents (and their loved ones) to live freely and creatively. I'm not a doctor so please speak with your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel. Women are under-diagnosed due to lack of research. Please share any videos that are helpful to you so we can spread awareness and acceptance.
