I think this is a huge problem for older and/or widowed/single etc AS women. We need to form somehow our own Autistic Women's Associations. No-one else will do this for us. But I know that takes a lot of energy. I am trying to establish a pilot group here in my city at the moment and meeting someone next week to discuss possible ways forward and exchange ideas.
The autistic community is very under-organized generally, compared to other disability communities, and compared to other minority communities generally. See
this page regarding some of the many kinds of groups I think our community needs.
Good luck with getting your autistic women's association off the ground. Please let us know how it goes.
