Books on AuDHD in Women

Luftmentsch

Can anyone recommend any books on AuDHD in women? Or, failing that, on ADHD in women or AuDHD generally? My wife and I suspect she is AuDHD, but we have only an uncertain grasp of what that means for her. In some ways she's very like me (ASD), but in others very different and that can be hard to navigate. Obviously, some of the difference might be personality rather than diagnosis.

    Odd Girl Out: An Autistic Woman in a Neurotypical World
    Book by Laura James
     Laura like so many young adults ended up in a mental health ward, it wasn’t until later in life at a hospital appointment that her life changed forever, she in the waiting room and had a meltdown, the nurse said.” Don’t work, we see quite a few autistic people.” The rest is history.

    This book sounds great, it’s quite a common story for other autistics to need mental health support before they are autistic. Autistic identification helps to reframe everything.
