Femme On The Spectrum
Welcome to Femme On The Spectrum, where we dive deep into the lived experience of adult autism while tackling the messy, funny, and very real stuff of being a neurodivergent woman in a neurotypical world. Hosted by Elizabeth — a late-diagnosed autistic and AuDHD mom of two, MSW grad student, and a proud advocate for women on the spectrum — this podcast covers everything from navigating motherhood and family dynamics to surviving narcissistic abuse, unmasking, and finding your people. Join us for candid, unfiltered, neurospicy conversations that highlight the unique challenges and triumphs of life on the spectrum. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or simply curious, this is a space for real talk, dark humor, and fresh perspectives. New episodes weekly.
