Are you a woman — or AFAB — who has spent years feeling like you've had to work twice as hard, mask twice as much, and still somehow fly under the radar?
Whether you're exploring your own neurodivergence, making sense of a late diagnosis, or supporting women who've long been overlooked, this talk is for you.
Until 2013, it wasn't even possible to receive a formal diagnosis of both autism and ADHD at the same time — despite research now suggesting they co-occur in up to 80% of cases. Add to that a diagnostic history built almost entirely on male presentations, and it becomes clear why so many women have gone unrecognised for so long.
In this talk with Dr Lauren Breese, Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience working with neurodivergent people, we'll look at the history behind that gap — why it exists, how it developed, and what it means for women seeking answers today. We'll also explore what AuDHD actually looks like in women: the patterns across attention, executive functioning, sensory processing, social interaction, and emotional regulation that often get missed or misread.
You'll come away with a clearer picture of how ADHD and autism can show up together in women, and a better understanding of why so many have gone without support for so long — whether you're piecing together your own story or trying to better support someone else.
