About this listen

Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male.

Sari Solden's groundbreaking study reveals that ADHD affects just as many women as men, and that the resulting depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement are also symptoms of ADHD.

Newly revised and updated to reflect the latest clinical research, the book explores treatment and counseling options, and uses real-life case histories to examine the special challenges women with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) face, such as the shame of not fulfilling societal expectations.

Included is a brand-new chapter on friendship for women with ADHD. Three empowering steps - restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image - help women take control of their lives and enjoy success on their own terms.

The book details a couple of example fictional characters, to outline & illustrate how so many women make it to adulthood, without a formal diagnosis & highlights the difficulties faced in life, without this level of self awareness.

Sari gives valuable insights about the ADHD brain & the effects that reek havoc in the lives of the women & their families who are affected.

There's tools, tips & strategies, as well as script ideas, to find language for communicating highly emotive subjects.

It's not intended to be a replacement for an expert diagnosis, in fact she goes to great lengths to point people in the direction of the services to help themselves. Including how best to work with a coach.

It's one I will return to sections of as needed. I found the narration easier on the ear at x1.25

I found this book helpful but I did feel like it focuses on the problems of ADD a little too much. She often rounds up a chapter on a issue caused by ADD with a line to say " but also focus on your strenghts", but with little to know real instruction on how to find those strengths. They can be hard to see when you are bogged down with your flaws...

Good info. Poor performance

This is a powerful book, I feel seen for the first time in my life I cannot say how much this book has impacted me. I found myself sobbing listening to it as it was articulating my struggles all my life. I'm awaiting an assessment at 44. this book is a must if you suspect you have adhd or if you are a friend, partner etc of someone with ADHD. I want to thank the author.

Very helpful book with lots of insight. Reading speed was quite slow so set at 1.10x which was much better for keeping my level of attention.
