The Assessment of Adult Women and Men for Autism and ADHD
As our understanding of autism and ADHD grows, we’ve discovered an important truth: many women and men have gone undiagnosed or misdiagnosed simply because autism and ADHD can present differently in women than what was traditionally recognised, and men can also present in a variety of non-sterotypical ways.
Until 2013 it was not even possible to be diagnosed with both ADHD *and* autism – we now know that there is a very large overlap in these diagnoses, with many people experiencing symptoms related to and meeting criteria for both ADHD and autism.
If you’ve always felt somehow ‘different’ but couldn’t quite explain why, or received other diagnoses that never fully explained your experiences, you might be among the many adults discovering their authentic neurology later in life. Understanding your true neurotype can bring profound clarity and self-compassion, and finally explain patterns that have shaped your life thus far.
Our Philosophy
We operate under the Neurodiversity Affirming Paradigm.
We seek to challenge the way that Autistics, ADHDers and other neurotypes (such as those with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or Discalculia) have been marginalised within society. We celebrate this diversity, and believe that neurodivergencies are natural differences in human development, not “disorders” or “deficiencies” to be “fixed” or “treated”.
We recognise that neurodivergent people experience disability due to the incompatibility between their neurology and the demands of neurotypical (typically-developing) society.
