(WC - 150110 - GERLACH - 2025) Neurodiversity in Women: Therapeutic Strategies for Empowering Women with Autism or ADHD

Course overview

Autism and ADHD look different in pink. Traditional views of autism and ADHD often miss the mark when it comes to women. Research shows that neurodivergence manifests differently in women, leading to widespread misdiagnoses and delayed support. The impacts can be profound, with many women facing feelings of inadequacy, the strain of masking, disordered eating, cycles of unhealthy relationships, and more. These women are seeking help more now than ever before. But providing the therapy neurodivergent women need requires a specialized skillset rather than reliance on outdated tools based on male norms. In this groundbreaking course, join psychotherapist and neurodiversity specialist Jennifer Gerlach, who brings both professional expertise and personal insight as an autistic woman. You'll gain critical tools to support neurodivergent women on their journey to self-understanding and empowerment, including: Insightful diagnostic and intervention techniques rooted in the latest research on female neurodiversity Targeted therapeutic approaches from ACT and CFT to cultivate self-compassion in autistic women Powerful strategies for unmasking and fostering authenticity in relationships, workplaces, school settings, and beyond
