Autism was first described as a clinical condition in the mid-twentieth century and was long considered of low prevalence. Since the 1990s, autism prevalence has increased substantially, particularly in high-income countries. This rise has prompted public and professional debate, including concerns of over-diagnosis and suggestions of an “autism epidemic.” Current research and conceptual analysis suggest that these interpretations are not supported by the available evidence. Instead, changes in diagnostic practices, alongside shifts in social, educational, and economic environments, have reshaped how autism is recognised and understood.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Girls and Women
ADHD has historically been conceptualised as a predominantly male condition, contributing to delayed recognition and underdiagnosis in girls and women. Longitudinal research suggests that ADHD in females is associated with long-term risks, including internalising disorders, self-harm, and psychosocial impairment, particularly when symptoms go unrecognised and untreated. Current evidence raises concerns about both over- and under-diagnosis, aiming for a better understanding of ADHD female presentation.
