Late Diagnosed Autistic Women

This space is created for Late-Diagnosed Autistic Women. Whether your diagnosis came in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, beyond—or you’re just beginning to question—you're welcome here. You'll find connection, reflection, and neurodivergent-affirming resources to support your journey. Through shared stories, self-exploration, and compassionate insight, we dive into masking, identity, relationships, sensory experiences, and the powerful process of becoming who you’ve always been.
