Females continue to be less likely than males to receive a diagnosis of a neurodivergent condition when appropriate. This chapter focuses on the historical reasons for this, and the challenges experienced by neurodivergent females and clinicians in diagnosing them. The author uses autoethnography to explore these issues while reflecting upon her own and her family’s experiences. This includes differences in approach to her own and her brother’s neurodivergence in the 1980s and 1990s, and her own diagnoses in adulthood following her son’s diagnoses and gender-based differences. Finally, as an early career psychologist, the author explores the future of neurodivergent diagnoses, and the ways in which these changes might support neurodivergent girls and women in gaining an understanding of themselves, and the support they need to thrive.
