More About Us

Autistic Women's Alliance is the brainchild of Carrie Hall. When Involved with SWAN (SAP Women's Autistic Network) at SAP, Carrie saw a need for peer mentoring from an autistic perspective.

​

Since working as a peer mentor, Carrie saw a need for an autistic led group for women. She polled individuals within the autistic community for interest, ideas, and core team members, and thus the Autistic Women's Alliance was born.

​

AWA is simply a non-male autistic space. We accept anyone that identifies as female (trans/cisgender) or nonbinary and autistic (including self-diagnosed). The goal of AWA is to create a space for professional autistic women to network, gain career skills, and socialize. We want to nurture a space that includes high level seasoned professionals, college students starting to think about their first job, people that may never have held a job, and people that work non-traditional jobs or are entrepreneurs.
