Research summary

Research is finding female experience has been excluded from autism and ADHD diagnostic tools and that menopause is leading many undiagnosed women to seek help as they struggle to mask their neurodivergent selves.  My PhD is responding to the gap in research knowledge of female (neuro)diverse lived experience during menopause by merging personal narrative with theory on neurodiversity, spirituality and myth.
