About this listen
In Episode 17 of The Neurodivergent Report, we unpack why so many neurodivergent individuals go undiagnosed… or misdiagnosed… for years.
From internalized ADHD symptoms to the overlooked role of hormones in women, this episode explores how diagnosis and treatment are shaped by race, gender, parenting styles, and systemic bias.
Curious what’s inside:
Parents perception and ADHD diagnosis
Why women and BIPOC are underdiagnosed and labeled hysterical
Connection between hormones and mental health symptoms
What the research isn’t telling us yet and why that's a problem
Whether you're navigating your own diagnosis or supporting someone who is, this episode offers community and a compassionate sociological lens.
However you’re able to engage, thank you for being here!
With love, Sarah 💜
