When Dr Wilkes first entered neurodiversity assessment, he was well aware that female presentations of autism and ADHD were less researched, more prone to social camouflaging and masking and more easily overlooked or misunderstood diagnostically. He recognised that Autism and ADHD research had typically focused on men and articulations of each presentation were typically masculine ones.
It was for this reason that Dr Wilkes ensured that both he and his team undertook extensive learning on autism and ADHD presentations within women, being trained by the National Autism Society and engaging in extensive reading around the differences in presentations.
Supporting the knowledge the team has already accrued, our assessments are extensive and designed to be able to understand nuances in presentation, the possibility of masking and understand the developmental process of adapting to a neurotypical world.
With Oneself's assessment process, women can feel confident that they will have an assessment process which is aware of and sensitive to the different ways autism and ADHD manifest.
