We are the first charity with the mission of raising awareness and increasing the understanding of females with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). This support group is founded to improve the understanding of the prevalence and needs of females with ASC throughout England and Wales, We aim to promote the development of knowledge, advance our collective understanding of female ASC and to better identify those affected.

Our Mission: 

(1) To contribute to research and knowledge development in the field of autism.
(2) To support autistic women, girls and their families by providing social opportunities, skill development and advice/ guidance.
(3) To raise awareness of the traits of autism in ( mainly but not exclusively) women and girls so they may be identified and supported appropriately.

We have recently rebranded to 'Girls Have Autism Too', please note that there has been no change in 'Auti-Ms' support or contact, this name has been used to make our charity more recognisable.
