AuDHD & Women with Dr Emma Craddock

What does it mean to “be AuDHD”? Why do so many women only get diagnosed later in life? When someone lives at the intersection of autism and ADHD – known as AuDHD – the result can be a unique but often misunderstood neurotype.

Join Dr Emma Craddock in exploring the combined diagnoses of autism and ADHD, focusing on women’s experiences of receiving a late diagnosis in adulthood. She will shed light on why neurodivergence’s diagnosis is often missed in women. Drawing on scientific research and personal experience, this talk will consider what it means to be AuDHD – and how this differs from living with ADHD or autism alone.
