Groups
Processing Group for Autistic Women
-
Purpose
Welcome to a supportive community designed by and for autistic women who are navigating the unique intersections of neurodivergence and holistic health. This group, facilitated by Dr. Yoko Shibata, recognizes that wellness looks different for each of us, and we celebrate the diverse ways we care for our minds, bodies, and spirits.
Together, we explore practical approaches to nutrition, sleep, relationships, movement, and common health conditions experienced by autistic women—all while honoring sensory preferences, executive functioning styles, and individual pacing. We share strategies for creating sensory-friendly environments, managing overwhelm, and advocating for our needs in work space, school, healthcare, and daily life.
This is a judgment-free space where stimming, special interests, and communication differences are valued parts of who we are. We believe in peer wisdom, mutual support, and the power of shared experiences to foster genuine understanding.
