Did you know that autism often looks very different in girls than in boys — especially when it comes to socialising and making friends? In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, I’m sharing key insights into how autistic girls experience social situations, why many are misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and what you really need to know if you or someone you love is navigating friendships, school, or work.
Autistic females often mask their traits, making it harder for professionals, parents, and even friends to recognise the challenges they face. If you’ve ever struggled to fit in, keep up with social rules, or feel truly understood, this episode will help you make sense of those experiences.
How autistic girls experience friendships and social groups differently
Why so many girls go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years
The role of masking and how it impacts mental health
Practical tips to navigate social situations with less stress
How to recognise your needs and create healthy boundaries
This isn’t about “fixing” anyone — it’s about understanding autistic differences, celebrating neurodiversity, and finding strategies that support autistic women and girls in living authentically.
Autistic girls, teens, and adults seeking validation and self-understanding
Parents wanting to support their autistic daughters
Educators and professionals working with autistic females
Anyone curious about the unique social experiences of autistic women and girls
If you’ve ever felt confused about social expectations or struggled to “fit in,” you’re not alone — and this episode will give you tools, tips, and reassurance to help you feel more confident.
