Online Autistic Girls Group
A safe, welcoming space to connect, share, unmask and be yourself
Fortnightly Online 1hr Group
Our online autistic girls groups are relaxed, neurodiversity-affirming spaces where autistic teen girls can connect with others just like them.
Facilitated by an autistic speech pathologist, these small online groups (maximum 6 girls per group) offer a low-demand environment to chat, spend time on a favourite hobby or special interest, and build genuine friendships with other autistic girls.
Everyone is encouraged to bring along a craft, creative activity, puzzle, or quiet game to work on while chatting with the group.
The groups are a place to:
Meet other autistic girls online
Relax and work on a hobby or special interest
Chat and share experiences with others who understand
Find connection and community
We are currently running 3 different groups to support girls at different stages of their teen and young adult years!

Who is this for?
Autistic girls with Level 1 or Level 2 support needs
For girls who are autistic but do not have an intellectual disability, and who are able to attend the group independently without support from an adult.Girls with an internalised profile or presentation of autism
For girls who tend to be quiet, shy, and who often hide their stress, worries, or overwhelm. These girls are usually highly empathetic and sensitive to others’ feelings.Autistic girls who mask and camouflage
For those who, consciously or unconsciously, suppress their natural autistic traits in order to fit in by copying others, hiding emotions, and blending in to meet social expectations.Autistic girls who find social connection confusing or draining
For girls who want friendships but find socialising difficult, overwhelming, or hard to sustain and who long to feel truly seen and understood.Autistic girls who feel different or misunderstood
For those who often feel out of place, like they don’t quite “fit in,” and who rarely feel like others truly get them and are wanting to meet and connect with others like them.Autistic girls wanting to understand and embrace their identity
This is a neurodiversity-affirming space where autistic teen girls can explore who they are, build self-understanding, and connect with others on the same journey.Autistic girls seeking community and neurokin
These groups are for girls looking to find others who think and feel like they do
What these groups are NOT:
Not a therapy group – this is a peer connection group facilitated and run by a speech pathologist; however, no formal therapeutic communication strategies or teaching of social skills are provided. Instead, the group embraces natural autistic social connection styles and focuses on building peer connections in a comfortable and authentic way.
Not a class or lesson – we don’t provide materials, instructions, or structured teaching; bring your own activity or hobby to enjoy
Not NDIS funded – each person is responsible for any costs associated with their own attendance or materials.
Not in person – all sessions are online; you can join safely from home, using your own device and space.
“Connection matters. Being able to share space with people who understand you can make all the difference.”
