How Did I Get Missed?
Neurodiversity & Late Diagnosis of ADHD & ASD

Dr. Monica Blied, PhD, MACL

What image comes to mind when you picture a 17-year-old or a 32-year-old who is on the autism spectrum and/or has ADHD? Does that picture change with the gender of the person? This presentation goes beyond the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to describe brain styles that may surface depending on individual characteristics, including common features of those who were assigned female at birth (AFABs), and among those who are both intellectually gifted and neurodivergent (i.e., twice-exceptional individuals). Dr. Blied will explain how to identify these individuals in your therapy practice, and how you can support them in seeking formal evaluation. You will also find general strategies your clients can utilize to break through some of the challenges of having a neurodiverse brain style in a neurotypical world, while pursuing the gifts that are inherent within them.
