This chapter highlights the significance of acknowledging and honoring individual differences, particularly in neurodiverse individuals with conditions such as autism and ADHD. It stresses the value of listening, educating, and offering support while recognizing the diverse challenges and requirements of each person.
Karen Saporito, Ph.D., explains the ways in which ADHD and autism overlap and how they can present differently in children and adults, and across genders — including why autism is so easily missed and misdiagnosed, especially in girls and women, and the consequences of that.
