This book, written by ADDitude organization expert Susan Pinsky, offers concrete ways to get yourself on track. Further more, if you have any confidence in yourself or your abilities, this book will probably annoy the hell out of you. ADHD is one of the most common neurological disor­ders in the United States—yet a staggering 75 percent of girls and women remain undiagnosed.Tips and ideas throughout the book offer tiny changes women with ADHD can make that can reap huge benefits. These tell of late diagnosis, missed opportunities, a lifetime of adaptations and the power of recognition and treatment and are powerful stories for professionals and individuals with ADHD alike. An ADHD-friendly guidebook that skirts the dizzying array of superficial strategies to address the powerful inner lives of ADHD women. ADHD isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition, and neither should be the books we turn to for guidance or solace.

Lotta Borg Skoglund connects the latest scientific discoveries on ADHD with the compelling lived experiences of girls and women with ADHD, weaving in their personal struggles and their breakthroughs, from childhood and the teen years through to motherhood, menopause and beyond.

If you’re a woman with ADHD, chances are you lose your keys, eyeglasses, and/or phone on a daily basis — and that really stresses you out.

The symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity are explored along with the idea that parents are often providing a lot of scaffolding for their girls with ADHD and this may lead to symptoms being hidden. Its emphasis on gender-specific manifestations of ADHD and its inclusion of practical means of attacking the executive-function deficits that plague girls and women with ADHD will ensure its continued status as core guidebook. Like previous editions, it still offers advice on how to get along with friends and family, how to minimize stress and discord, how to get organized and improve memory, and more.To find out more about our experiences, please check out our ' About Us' page or the summary of our experience in Our PDA Story Week 35.
