For me, sharing my story of BPD misdiagnosis and late diagnosed autism and ADHD is really important.
Content I’ve created on my social channels has prompted many of my followers to share their stories. It’s more common than you might think for females to be misdiagnosed with a mental health condition instead of being recognised as autistic/diagnosed with ADHD.
Below are some articles that I’ve written but also been involved with to help raise awareness.
