Late Life Autism Diagnosis: Why Many Adult Females Go Undiagnosed with Dr. Wendy (Self-Help Books)

Dr. Wendy and I discuss late life autism diagnosis and why so many adult females go undiagnosed as she shares about her books on late life autism. She also has a site where those who suspect they have austims can fill out an autism assessment (link below) to see if they would get a late life diagnosis.

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh is an award-winning author, sought-after speaker, and autism expert specializing in late-diagnosed autism. She is also the founder and CEO of Adult Autism Assessment & Services, a neurodiversity-affirming group practice providing nationwide assessment for autism and ADHD, counseling, and life coaching. Her books include Recognizing Autism in Women and Girls and the series Adulting While Autistic. Today, we will be discussing why so many people are not discovered to have autism until adults, as well as how autism is different between males and females.
