I was taken aback with the instant feeling of companionship and cohesiveness of the Women’s Group. In the Women’s Group, the clients were able to freely express their experiences and relate to one another, even to the point of sharing that they do not necessarily feel comfortable being open in mixed gender ASD groups. In a world where people with autism tend to feel isolated and alone, the Women’s Group offers a safe place for women to be comfortable and honest with their experiences.
