An online therapeutic space designed specifically for women on the Autism spectrum (cisgender, trans women, and nonbinary) to foster a deeper understanding of themselves and their unique Autism experience. Centered around a neurodivergent affirming care model, participants will have the opportunity to investigate their unique experience of Autism, collaborate on their specific support needs, gain Autism-specific coping tools, reduce feelings of shame and guilt due to their neurotype, and connect with others who understand their journey.
This 8-week group offers a supportive community that promotes self-discovery, connection, and growth.
