Hello people,

I was wondering if you guys could help a girl out.

Basically, I have a YouTube friend that is looking for female Autists/Auties/Aspergirls to help her out with a video project that she has already started.

To be brief, she wants to show to the world that there are many women around the world with Autism- that's it's not only a male disorder, and that we tend to get "missed" by diagnosing professionals as females on the spectrum.

Her YouTube Channel is called 'Mind Of Her Own', and here's a link to her most recent video, talking a bit about her project: http://youtu.be/I59VVoL912c

Quote:
(from the description of the linked video):

In June, women from around the globe came together to make ourselves known and build awareness for women on the spectrum through a video in honor of Autistic Pride Day. You can find that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkufdEHgOck

I am very excited to share that an updated version of this video and an article be me are going to be featured in the late August issue of Autism Spectrum Digest www.ASDigest.com along!

I am working on the updated video and I need your help! I am looking for more women to participate in the video by sending in a photo holding a sign that says: "Diagnosed with ______ at age ____" and then their country of origin. A landscape/horizontal format works best. The photo can be messaged to me at www.Facebook.com/MindOfHerOwnSue.

I have a good number of women from the US and UK so I'm especially looking for women in other countries who have an autism spectrum diagnose to participate. THIS IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP! Pass on this video, post it in your Facebook groups and on your Facebook page. If you know of women who qualify send it to them.

I want to show the diversity of women around the globe who are on the autism spectrum.

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all the amazing women who have participated in this project and everyone who helped make it happen!

I am a woman diagnosed with PDD-NOS (I say Asperger's for simplicity) in my 40's after a long and confusing journey. I want to help give a voice to undiagnosed and late-diagnosed women on the spectrum as well as those dealing with complex chronic health issues.

I myself have participated:

So, you do something like I did if you want to participate.

...People that participate are supposed to be those that were diagnosed a bit later than most, and she is also lioking for diversity e.g. in race, ethnicity or nationality- The US and The UK have had a lot of entries.

DEADLINE: 4th August 2014

Thanks for reading! :)

Is diversity in age and diagnostic status relevant?

Age is pretty flexible e.g. she was originally looking for those diagnosed in adulthood, but I was diasnosed at 17 but was still allowed. Diagnostic status is basically whatever ASD you were diagnosed with...Though, if you have questions she would be the best person to ask:
