And it's really quite exciting that they, um, I remember one parent saying, um, cause they told their, their daughter that, that, you know, we diagnosed autism on ADHD and they said that she squealed with joy and And I was just, yeah, we get that. So sometimes it's actual real excitement. This is who I am. And it just makes sense.

And like, just that, if you think of the impact of that, you know, on the trajectory of that child. But it's not all like that. So with some families, there can be such a mix of emotions, feelings, It can be guilt, you know, that I've not known this, and if I'd have known this, I might have done these things differently. Oh, it really varies.

But actually a really significant thing that I've noticed, I don't know what the percentage is, actually, I haven't kind of done the numbers, but... Quite a significant percentage of girls after our assessments have then, or their parents have then, taken them out of mainstream education. Which some people might think, well, that's not a good outcome.

Which some people might think, well, that's not a good outcome.

But actually, the assessment and the diagnosis has made them realise that that their daughter is burnt out in quite a serious way. Quite often that's common. And that mainstream education at that moment in time is just really not working. So whether it's homeschool or online schooling, and this is not easy, you know, So that, you know, is a difficult process.

However, for those girls, I guess the families are kind of coming together and going, okay, this isn't working. We need to look at something that will work. So I have noticed that it's literally been within weeks.

Yeah, and I think it's that realisation that actually this is too traumatic for this girl right now.

Yeah, and I think it's that realisation that actually this is too traumatic for this girl right now.

Yeah, yeah, that can happen as well, definitely. And we have assessed women in their 70s and all the way through. Yeah, absolutely. That's definitely, I hear that a lot, actually, real anger at their, it could be people, situations, establishments, you know. Yeah, real, real frustration and anger. I've noticed with the women we've assessed,

I've noticed with the women we've assessed,

that I think there's a phase and it's only a small number of weeks it's not a long time but there's a short phase where I think actually I would recommend no recommendations so we do make recommendations on reports but I think there's a there's a phase of kind of just letting it sort of settle and re and just kind of almost everything settling and becoming reordered a little bit really and then working out from there okay actually

this is what I need to, you know, potentially need support with. Or actually for some people, we're all good. Actually, that's just kind of the piece, the missing jigsaw piece that I needed. But I think that those first few weeks, it is a real cauldron, a real melting pot of emotions. And it's kind of letting that settle a little bit and then working out where to go from there.

There's a number of things, I guess, that impact how women, and we've been talking about masking, but kind of present themselves. And I think a significant factor is is about social conditioning. And there are, but I think it really impacts, well, it definitely really impacts boys and men as well, but the gender sort of stereotypes, which... which happened so early on.
