‘Living In A World That’s Not About Us’: The Impact of Everyday Life on the Health and Wellbeing of Autistic Women and Gender Diverse People
Grove, Clapham, Moodie, Gurrin and Hall (2023)
This study explored the lives of autistic women and gender diverse people and how their experiences affect their health and wellbeing. Three main themes came up: the challenges of daily life tasks (like managing health, parenting, and money), the mental strain of trying to fit into a world that often doesn't understand them, and the positive impact of being autistic and connecting with others like them. The study shows the need for better healthcare, support services, and more inclusive attitudes in society.
