What the petition asks
Fund more research into autistic women to help improve the diagnoses process so that less women are missed
Many Autistic women experience either misdiagnosis or late diagnosis due to not fitting into the ADOS requirements for autism. These requirements are based on outdated research that are mainly based on research carried out on young boys. This ca lead to massive mental health impacts for the women who are not being listened to and they don't get the support that they need.
