Why So Many Girls With ADHD Go Undiagnosed: The Hidden Face of ADHD in Girls and Women - A conversation with Katie Bertie

In this episode of Walking the Neurodiversity Path, Coty Walker sits down with UK based ADHD and dyslexia specialist, teacher, and neurodivergent parent Katie Bertie for an honest conversation about why so many girls and women with ADHD continue to go unnoticed, misunderstood, or misdiagnosed for years. Together, they explore the hidden presentation of ADHD in girls, including masking, perfectionism, emotional sensitivity, people pleasing, anxiety, and the deep impact of growing up feeling “different” without understanding why. Katie shares insights from both her professional and personal experience supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and families, while Coty opens up a compassionate space for conversations many women are only now beginning to have later in life. Whether you are a parent, educator, late-diagnosed woman, or someone trying to better understand the neurodivergent experience, this conversation offers insight, validation, compassion, and hope. Katie is offering us a free 3 part parent guide: 3 simple steps you can take to support your ADHD/dyslexic teen fearlessly, so they can tackle school and life with confidence and joy.
