Here is a strong draft ready to text to Resistbot: I am writing as an autistic woman from New Hampshire who was diagnosed late in adulthood. For decades, autistic girls and women have been systematically overlooked due to diagnostic criteria and medical training built entirely around outdated male presentations. As a child, I had an IEP and clear markers, but because of systemic gender bias, I was never properly evaluated or given autism-specific accommodations. That institutional failure left me unprotected and forced to survive without the support I had a legal and human right to receive. I urge you to champion federal policy changes: update diagnostic standards to recognize masking and female presentations, mandate comprehensive autism training for educators and healthcare providers, and expand resources for late-diagnosed autistic adults. The system cannot keep failing our girls.
