FEMME On The Spectrum

In this episode of the Femme on the Spectrum podcast, Elizabeth provides a comprehensive exploration of what it means to be a woman on the autism spectrum. She delves into understanding autism, its signs, the impact of masking, and the correlation with anxiety. Emphasizing the term "neurodivergent", Elizabeth introduces introspective questions designed to help listeners determine whether they might be autistic. She acknowledges that while many people may recognize these traits in themselves, not everyone will want or need a formal diagnosis.
