Calling all ADHD and autistic women

I'm recruiting for additional voluntary user testers who want to help me close the gender gap in ADHD and autism diagnosis and participate in 2nd stage service prototype validation testing of a breakthrough service.

More Human are launching the world's first ADHD and autism pre-diagnostic self-screen service for adult women, non-binary and AFAB.

We are on a mission to create gender equity and reduce gendered violence, mental illness and suicide amongst neurodivergent women. I want to widen access to medical diagnosis and good support and create equal opportunity.

Increasing diversity

I am looking to scale up my research sample and increase diversity with the following intersectionalities and minority groups

👉 1. Trans women

👉 2. Minority genders - humans AFAB who don't identify as a women

👉 3. Beautiful women of colour

👉 4. Women of the world and races affected by higher rates of gendered violence

👉 5. Diagnosed/self-identifying autistic women without ADHD

👉 6. Diagnosed/self-identifying ADHD women without autism

There are limited spots; if I don't manage to include you now, I will keep you on my list for my master's research; I plan to validate the screenings with a neurotypical control.

If I succeed, this will be the first pre-diagnostic screening tool codesigned by a neurodivergent woman, with neurodivergent woman, validated to the gold standard.

Gender bias in diagnosis

👉 3x as many males are diagnosed with autism.

👉This rises to 10:1 for girls without an intellectual disability

👉 80% of autistic females have not been diagnosed by age 18

👉 ADHD and autistic women, non-binary and trans are often misdiagnosed with BPD instead of ADHD or Autism and co-occurring C-PTSD

WHY does this matter?

The impact is devastating. Without early recognition or diagnosis, ADHD and autistic girls, women, non-binary and trans are at high risk of abuse, subsequent mental illness, burnout, unemployment, homelessness and suicide.

As a survivor of severe abuse and attempted suicide, I am super motivated to solve this problem.

To take part, email

leanne@wearemorehuman.co.uk

👉Participants must be 18+

👉Medically diagnosed or self-diagnosed

👉Anywhere in the world (service is in English)

👉Participation is subject to NDA

The service is not designed to support humans who are non-verbal, have an intellectual disability, and have higher human support needs.

Help me, help you and help others

👉 There is no monetary compensation for participation

👉All participants will receive free access to the BETA service and a guest pass for a family member or friend (because we know you have undiagnosed mothers, daughters, sisters and friends who could equally benefit)

Let's close the gender gap!

Please restack this post with neurodivergent women of the world.
