Abstract
This thesis explores the issue of sexual and domestic violence for autistic women and how services can better meet their needs. The thesis examines autistic women's experiences of violence in relation to factors such as gender inequality and disadvantage associated with being neurodivergent in a world not designed to accommodate their needs. This thesis then explores these factors based on insights captured from Australian practitioners who support autistic survivors of sexual and domestic violence. These insights and experiences from practitioners are additionally examined and applied to consider how support services and systems can better support the needs of autistic survivors.
