In this episode of "Femme on the Spectrum," host Elizabeth explores the peculiar and often challenging dynamics faced by high-functioning autistic women within competitive families. Highlighting how honesty and loyalty can sometimes be exploited by competitive family members, she unpicks different manipulative strategies, like weaponizing honesty, acting sweet and helpful, or claiming neutrality, that contribute to creating a distorted image of the 'troublemaker'.
