Female Autism
Is Female Autism Different?
At Spectrum Sisters, we know that autism looks different in women and girls. For too long, research and diagnostic tools have focused on male presentations, leaving countless women and girls underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood.
Our focus is on recognising and celebrating the female autism phenotype — the unique ways autism can present in females across the lifespan. From puberty to menopause, from masking to trauma recovery, our aim is to provide assessments that are accurate, validating, and life-changing.
