Academic articles? Not really, though I might be able to find some. Blog stuff and diagnostic help? Sure!

• Autistic Women’s Network (AWN) is probably a good place to start. 
• Musings of an Aspie Excellent blog written/run by a woman with ASD/Aspergers.
• Autistic Hoya Another excellent blog written by a woman with ASD. 
• List of non-traditional traits that are generally associated with female ASD folks.
• And, copied straight from neurowonderful​’s Autism Masterpost:

For Ladies on the Spectrum

Some people may recommend the book Aspergirls by Ruby Simone, but I cannot. I did not like the book at all and did not identify with much of what Simone said. It was also very heteronormative, which really bothered me. 

Agreed. I’m a queer autistic woman, and a friend of mine bought a copy of Aspergirls and handed to to me to look at. I admit I didn’t read it from cover to cover, but I didn’t need to. I looked up certain headers that were of interest to me, and decided that I did not want or need to read it. It was so heteronormative that I felt I had nothing to gain from reading it. It was exclusive at best and offensive at worst, and it had this weird New Age vibe to a lot of the stuff she was talking about. Basically, the book is for cishet Aspies who want a man in their life. There is nothing for queer girls, transgirls, lesbians, asexuals, bi girls, gender divergent folks or any other flavour of difference. I cannot speak for how much privilege is in it either, because it was some time ago I looked at it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a bunch of that, too.
