This was extremely disappointing and I want a refund please. The atmosphere, venue and background music choice were excellent. 
However, the atmosphere was only excellent due to the audience, mostly women and obviously women who were 100% invested in the prospects of the session. 
While the guest speaker had knowledge, she lacked character and personality. But that's not my complaint. 
I attended due to my 10 year old experiencing ASC and the battles we have had with school and the challenges we face. I attended as I was expecting ground breaking change for a different 'future', as the title suggests. The speaker merely confirmed what I had learned from intense and constant personal research over the last 4 years on ADHD, the general research and findings, symptoms, the recommendations. 
I challenged the speaker at the end with my current situation, I said 'you have filled an auditorium on a Monday night (paid seats! Not cheap), there is obviously a gap/ need; that girls / women need a change in order to be recognised and be equally supported . What are you doing to change this situation with the knowledge, overwhelming support  and evidence you are gathering that we are desperate for change' she responded weakly, which affirmed to me that while she may mention the NHS is under pressure, she is simply seeing the opportunity of the gap and lining her pock*ts; handing out business cards and boost private work which she so did at the end. 
Me? I was clapped, approached and congratulated at the event, and even in my work the next day (I had no idea that colleagues were there, some I hadn't even met, I work in a huge organisation) where my statement at the end had the most profound effect on the women attending, and my guess is that it touched the essence of why they were actually there. 
This talk was astonishingly poor. I shall be contacting my local councillor on the back of this to request CHANGE for neuro diverse women and girls. I can't be the only woman let down by this yesterday. And I urge the guest speaker to do the same and act to make a change, if she truly cares about her 'passion' of helping women and girls,  do som**hing to alter the pattern! It will happen but I am sad to say ironically the change will only be by the women who have no monetary interest, those that are the victims of a process that requires immediate change . She is in the PRIME position. Passionate enough to make a wonderful career, but not quite passionate enough to actually help alter the unfair world we live  in. Please share this with the organisers and please don't deceive us with emotive titles that just do not live up to their promises.
