Yo Mujer Autista
A project by Miradas Foundation aimed at raising awareness of the needs of autistic women and providing them with tools to help them navigate or cope with situations they describe as common challenges in their daily lives.
Body and Mind
Information on how to develop healthy routines and habits that help us stay physically and emotionally well
Sexuality and emotionality
Information on relationships based on balance, mutual agreement, respect for one’s own needs and personal dignity
Interpersonal relationships
This section focuses on providing food for thought and offering guidance on how to improve relationships without burning yourself out in the process
Find out more about the project
The project is being carried out by professionals from the Miradas Foundation. The project’s name, YoMujerAutista, reflects the fact that the materials are primarily aimed at autistic women; materials will also be provided for professionals and families who are in contact with autistic women with greater support needs.
These materials are being developed in collaboration with, and through co-creation processes involving, autistic women via focus groups, interviews and suggestions.
