About our group
We are a small and friendly group of autistic women who meet up monthly for a coffee and chat in Yelverton. Set up by Wendy in 2013, though name and location have recently changed. Everyone who identifies as an autistic woman is welcome, it does not matter where you live as long as you can get to meetings (parking and bus stop close to meeting place).
Autistic women and girls
More men and boys are currently diagnosed with autism than women and girls. The most up-to-date ratio is 3:1. There are various theories to explain this.
Autism and gender identity
We look at the connection between autism and gender identity, and hear stories from non-binary and transgender autistic people.
Benefits and money
This section has information about benefits that may be available for autistic people and their families and advice on managing money.
