Link Delegates and Federation Representatives cast their votes in June while attending the National Federation meeting in Liverpool. We are happy to confirm that the resolution Women and Girls with ASD & ADHD - under-identified, under-diagnosed, misdiagnosed, under-supported has passed with a majority of 96.5%.
Women and Girls with ASD & ADHD - under-identified, under-diagnosed, misdiagnosed, under-supported Women and girls presenting with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are going undiagnosed. The NFWI calls on the government and funding bodies to fund research into the female presentation of ASD and ADHD, and for action to be taken to improve the diagnosis process for women and girls, to ensure that they are equipped to better manage these conditions and do not suffer in silence. The NFWI further calls on WI members to raise awareness within their WIs of the issues facing women and girls with ASD and ADHD.
