NJ Highest rate of Autism in USA - Autie Womens Resources?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey there! I’m a New Jersey local looking into connecting fellow autie women with each other for support and advocacy. NJ has the highest rate of Autism in the USA, aside from the densest population. So far we’ve got like 18 members to our autie women's social group we’re developing with current members so far ranging from age 19 to 39!

We communicate and run things through Facebook currently, but I do realize there are a lot of us out there who aren’t on Facebook, let alone social media in general. Basically making this post to scope out if anyone has interest in the existence of such a group run by and for autistic women who currently live in the state of New Jersey.

I don't live in New Jersey now, however I did grow up in Linden, New Jersey. Linden, NJ has always been infamous for its extremely high pollution levels. Could that have been a factor in me being... well, different?
