The Autistic Girls Network is a charity that exisits to support, educate and bring about change. This has a particular focus on being autistic as a female. This is a hugely important, under-researched, misunderstood area. They are pioneering excellent resources and community here. Do take a look. 

This is a pathway focussing on the overlap between eating disorders and autism, and drawing together research and resources from clinical practice. A really important new field, when at leadt 35% (or more) people with eating disorders are also autistic.

If you prefer to learn by listening or watching, this might be a more suitable format for you. A podcast that interviews many different professionals and people who are experienced in the field of ADHD and Autism, or who share their own lived experiences. Lots to browse through.
