Can anyone recommend any good forums for women with ASD?

I’m struggling a bit and could do with finding somewhere to chat with other women who are autistic. I think this section of MN has gone quite quiet beyond “am I autistic? How do I get diagnosed?” (not a problem at all, just an observation!) and I could really do with somewhere more chatty. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’ve already tried reddit which is skewed very young and American and “am I?” in the female subreddit and very male (almost anti women sometimes) in the general subreddit.

I follow a lot of autistic women on Twitter which is great for feeling less alone and seeing my life in others lives but it’s a bit like shouting into the void posting on there iyswim!

(Ps: MN I hope it’s okay to ask this here, I just really need to find somewhere where there are more autistic women who understand!)

Hi, I'm after the same thing so I'll bump this for you in the hope that someone more knowledgeable than me will see it! If that doesn't happen feel free to message me if you ever fancy a chat Smile

Just to add though that I'm still awaiting assessment for asd so am currently only self diagnosed.

Have a look for groups on Facebook if you’re on there. If you’re in Scotland I can recommend a good one.

If you are in the UK, I can recommend one on Facebook.

Hi NonnyMouse, which is the FB group you'd recommend? Thanks.

NonnyMouse1337 · 24/11/2020 13:07

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you @Leafylife. I had forgotten about this thread.

The Facebook group I mentioned is private. I hadn't realised the group settings had changed. However, women are still welcome to join!

Please try this link and let me know if you are able to join the group or not. (You will have to answer a few very basic questions.)

I am not sure how active it is these days but wrong planet used to be good. It was never specifically for women though although of course women posted there.

Gosh yes I remember WrongPlanet. It's been ages since I signed in. Smile
