๐Ÿค” In today's FridayFAQ, Dr Madeline D***s explains the common myths around ADHD and Autism.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Myth 1: ADHD is just 'Hyperactivity'
The reality is that we see a lot of cognitive effects too, such as differences in planning, organising, time management, and emotion regulation.

๐ŸŒŸ Myth 2: Everyone is a bit "ADHD" or "Autistic"
Although many people have traits of neurodiversity, a diagnosis occurs when these traits begin to impact everyday functioning, both currently and throughout your development.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Myth 3: Autism is 'obvious' and 'always looks the same'
Each autistic person has their own combination of strengths, challenges, preferences and support needs.

๐ŸŒŸMyth 4: If people are functioning well in school or work, they mustn't have ADHD or autism
Many people mask their traits, adapt their behaviour, and learn different coping strategies for their neurodiverse traits. This means that, often, ADHD and autism is not obvious to others.

๐Ÿค” In today's FridayFAQ, Dr Madeline D***s explains why ADHD and autism is often missed in women, girls, and people assigned female at birth.

๐Ÿ’ฌWhy are ADHD and autism often missed in girls and women?
Many learn to mask their differences and develop coping strategies that hide their struggles. Because their traits often look different from the stereotypes based on boys, they're frequently overlooked or mistaken for anxiety, depression, or shyness.

๐ŸŒŸ Important note: boys and men can also mask their neurodiverse traitsโ€“ it is not just something that women and girls do!In today's , Dr Madeline D***s explains why ADHD and autism are often missed in women, girls, and people assigned female at birth (AFAB).
