Thanks for getting this up and running, it's an important topic - I had a couple of female friends who weren't diagnosed until much later in life but know a few girls (family members, friends' children) who have been diagnosed in their teens, so it does seem to be getting better.

We still have a lot to go with mental health and neurodivergence care in general but I agree that kids today have so much more resources available to them and that makes me very glad. So many of us throughout history have suffered so much without understanding why. I'm very grateful for the resources I have found to help me understand myself better and help me find coping techniques, even though it's come very late.
Yes, going from no help to some help is a big improvement but it can still be a struggle accessing getting the necessary support, especially in cash-strapped Britain at the moment.
