Remember the old poem about the secret ingredients for boys and girls? Snips and snails for boys, sugar and spice for girls. It wasn't just a silly rhyme; it hinted at a truth: boys and girls experience the world differently. This applies to neurodivergence too. Autism and ADHD can manifest differently in males and females, leading to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis in women.
For parents, this raises a crucial question: how can we ensure that neurodiverse children, regardless of gender, feel seen, understood, and supported?
On this episode, we'll visit a Connecticut school that intentionally considers gender in its approach to educating students. Our expert panel will discuss how boys and girls experience neurodivergence differently and offer strategies for parents and educators. And later, you'll meet our latest Difference Makers: a Hollywood couple using their influence to cast neurodiverse families in leading roles helping to support autistic children's journeys.
