Conventional ADHD & Autism Treatment Protocols Fail Girls and Women:
What you need to know to be part of the solution

Living while female can feel like tiptoeing through a minefield of explosive experiences.

The prevalence of violence against women in society...

The cultural pressure to be attractive, sexually modest, the primary caregiver, and more...

And hormonal transitions specific to the female experience, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause...

All contribute to a uniquely challenging, sometimes traumatising, and often misunderstood life experience for girls and women.

Now, add to that the anxiety of being ‘different’ than your peers, without understanding why...

Being bullied, ridiculed, and alienated for your differences... Which causes them to become withdrawn, depressed...

Even believing they're less deserving of love because there’s ‘something wrong’ with you.

This is the brutal reality of thousands of girls and women
living with mis- or undiagnosed ADHD or Autism

The struggles of neurodivergent girls and women have long been ignored, silenced, and labelled as a personality disorder or hysterics...

Or they are themselves dismissed as ‘drama queens’.

But leading-edge research proves the female population presents symptoms of ADHD and Autism differently than males...

And their hormones have a more powerful impact on their symptoms, both of which change throughout the lifespan.

Girls also learn to mask earlier—and better—than boys.

Which is why most therapists miss the signs of undiagnosed neurodiversity in girls and women.

But not you.

Because when you’ve completed the Autism & ADHD in Girls and Women online summit you’ll know how to recognise Autistic and ADHD girls and women within your client base...

And how to use Neurodiversity Affirming approaches to help them find relief from the shame, confusion, and sadness that come from living mis- or undiagnosed.

You’ll also get a curated collection of female-focused Neurodiversity Affirming resources for Autistic and ADHD clients and practitioners including podcasts, books, organisations, and neurodivergent role models.

Register today to get the tools and skills to make a difference in the lives of your neurodivergent female clients!
