Petition Action

More awareness and acceptance for women and girls on the Autistic Spectrum

Petition Details

Women and girls can be Autistic too, yet our understanding is lacking, and our diagnostic tools are out of date and lack empirical sensitivity.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!

Additional Information

Training is needed, services need understanding, diagnostic tools need updating! Talking about things gets nowhere, so we need to take action!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
