Historically autism and ADHD has been more commonly associated with boys and men. Lots of the research has overlooked women and girls and led to low rates of diagnosis. We know that women and girls can present differently and that this can often be associated with camouflaging and masking. We approach our assessments and support with this knowledge and tailor them accordingly.

Camouflaging and masking are ways in which autistic people and those with ADHD may consciously or subconsciously learn to suppress and hide who they really are, as they try to fit into a neurotypical world. Camouflaging and masking has a detrimental impact on a person's well-being. We work alongside people to explore the different strategies that people may have developed to manage. We bring this shared understanding into our diagnostic conclusions and recommendations for support.
