  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Femme on the Spectrum", host Elizabeth shares her deeply personal tale of domestic violence, gaslighting, and emotional abuse within her family, framing her experiences through the lens of having autism. She discusses how her neurodivergency compounded these challenges, making social dynamics trickier to navigate, and how they were manipulated against her. Elizabeth also reveals how society's patriarchal values provide fertile ground for such abuse. She draws upon facts that suggest women on the spectrum are more prone to domestic violence, and her narration emphasizes how crucial it is for autistic women to let their voices be heard. Elizabeth concludes the episode with a powerful message on resilience, truth, and the strength inherent in the authentic voices of women on the autism spectrum.
