Aftercare
At Sanctum, we advocate for a gender-sensitive approach to diagnosis and treatment.
ADHD in females often remains undetected, leading to significant impacts. Their symptoms, more internalised than males, challenge daily life and mental health.
How women present differently in ADHD and ASD
Less visible, internalised behaviours, such as inattention, emotional dysregulation, and a quieter form of hyperactivity. Often display certain characteristics that can differ from the typical presentations seen in males.
Social Challenges
Feel alienated and struggle with social interactions, leading to difficulties in forming and maintaining friendships.
Emotional regulation
Emotional symptoms include uncontrolled anger, mood swings, sensitivity to perceived criticism and difficulty managing emotions.
Sensory difficulties
Adult females with ASD report higher sensory sensitivities
