Rejected petition More awareness and acceptance for women and girls on the Autistic Spectrum
Women and girls can be Autistic too, yet our understanding is lacking, and our diagnostic tools are out of date and lack empirical sensitivity. This needs to change!
More details
Training is needed, services need understanding, diagnostic tools need updating! Talking about things gets nowhere, so we need to take action!

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Thank you for your petition. We understand that you'd like to see change in relation to women and girls on the autistic spectrum, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting diagnostic criteria. This is a decision for the professionals involved.
