Series Three Lecture Programme 2025

NEURODIVERSITY AND WOMEN: MISDIAGNOSIS, MISSED DIAGNOSIS AND COMORBIDITY

Dr Susannah Whitwell
Consultant Psychiatrist & Co-Founder of the Effra Clinic

Dr Whitwell is a Consultant Psychiatrist and co-founder of the The Effra Clinic which specialises in autism and ADHD diagnostic assessments and follow ups. Dr Whitwell sees patients in Bristol as well as online and in London. Her NHS practice is in the National Adult Autism and ADHD Service at the Maudsley Hospital where she has worked since 2011.

There has been a huge rise in demand for autism and ADHD diagnostic referral in the last 20 years with the concept of being neurodivergent increasingly recognised in the general public. This lecture reviews the history of neurodvelopmental conditions and how we got here, why women may be at particular risk of having a neurodevelopmental condition missed or misdiagnosed  and how neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism present in women.

By the end, GPs will be able to:

  1. Recognise how ADHD, autism and related neurodivergences commonly present in women across the lifespan
  2. Differentiate neurodivergent presentations from other conditions
  3. Plan practical adjustments, psychoeducation, and approaches to common comorbidities in neurodivergent women in the clinic
