Welcome to WAND

WAND is a peer support network run by and for autistic women and marginalised genders in Sheffield and the surrounding area. Our team of volunteers run all aspects of WAND in their free time.

Founded by autistic women, we create safe, inclusive spaces to connect, share and enjoy activities together. No formal diagnosis needed - self-identifying autistic women are welcome. We're proudly inclusive of LGBTQ+ women, non-binary and trans people.

Our aim is to create a safe, supportive community where people can connect, share experiences, and feel understood.

- We provide a supportive space for members
- Share helpful resources and information
- Organise online and in-person events and activities
- Offer informal peer support
- Raise awareness of autistic lived experiences
- Support personal growth and self-discovery

WAND is shaped by its members, and we work to keep the space inclusive, respectful and supportive.
