ABSTRACT
People experience life and interact with others in many ways. The term 'neurodivergence' refers to variations from what is considered typical. Research and education into conditions that cooccur with neurodivergence are essential in shaping clinicians' approaches to people who may present with a wide range of symptoms. Neurodivergence may influence a person's style of communication, learning, attitudes, and behaviour, and they often experience inequity and rejection. This review highlights the huge burden of cooccurring conditions carried by neurodivergent women and girls whose medical issues have largely gone under the radar. We suggest how clinicians might increase their awareness of diagnosis and management of their problems with mutual benefit.
