Autism in Women & Girls Worksheets

10 Page PDF Digital Download

Our autism in women and girls worksheets have been developed to support therapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals working with autistic women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals exploring autism, masking, sensory differences, burnout, identity, and self-understanding.

This resource takes a neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach, helping individuals better understand how autism can present differently in women and girls, recognise the impact of long-term masking and sensory overwhelm, and develop more supportive and sustainable ways of caring for themselves. It combines clear psychoeducation with reflective and practical worksheets designed to support insight, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

All information, exercises, and activities included in this resource are designed to be supportive, validating, and easy to integrate into therapy sessions and between-session reflection.
