Hidden Differences edition
A special persion of a project on how women with differences can be a positive advantage for everyone
Unique advantages
Women with hidden differences have many unique qualities which can be a major positive when it related to requirements in opportunities and within working and community environments
In summary women with differences are much more socially relatable and can be socially adaptable, better than men with similar difficulties. Also, they have a much less association with presumptive stereotypes of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.
Drive and determination
Not only women with differences can have stronger qualities compared with their male counterparts but can demonstrate much more than any expectations, requirements or demands.
Unique experiences
Their experiences, including their life challenges, can mean they have a greater approach than the competitiveness associated with Men. This means they are highly likely to make fair decisions making and choices. This can bring a greater approach to projects, participation and workload.

Seeing beyond perceptions
Beyond their ambitions, women with hidden differences also have a strong sense of purpose to make a positive difference to others and society.
Through their experiences and insight, women with hidden differences can provide forward-thinking ideas and solutions.
However, this can be only possible if everyone considers the following factors:
Patience,
Welcoming,
Accommodating,
Having an open mind,
Less perceptive and presumptions,
Not to discriminate and respect their sense of value.
To make sure a woman with hidden differences continues to be a positive benefit to others and society as a whole then we must value a person with differences.
Several factors must be practised including:
Appreciation
Avoid being perceptive
Not to make shaming or make disrespectful attitudes (including discrimination and hatred)
Be patient and supportive of a woman with hidden differences and speak up for them. This means not tolerating disrespectful or prejudiced attitudes. Also not make any unrealistic expectations or pressures.

Not to make disruptive attitudes such as jealousy, resentment, trivial or cynical.
