Ever wondered why so many women with autism are diagnosed late in adulthood? Or why the signs were overlooked in the first place? We grapple with these intriguing questions, and more, in this episode's enlightening conversation with Katie Salmons, a seasoned professional in social work. We discuss the often-overlooked phenomena of late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, particularly in women, and delve into the art of masking, autistic burnout, and how women have been historically underrepresented in autism diagnosis.
We also journey with Katie into the fascinating realm of genealogy and its impact on mental health, with a particular focus on ADHD. The significance of psychoeducation, self-advocacy, and defense mechanisms is underscored, especially in families experiencing clashes of neurodivergent traits. Katie shares her unique experiences and insights gleaned from working with teenagers navigating significant struggles, including the contemporary challenge of technology addiction. Don’t miss out on this powerful discussion that offers a fresh and insightful perspective on neurodivergence.
