Another Good Resource

When you receive an ADHD diagnosis, it can be both revelatory and overwhelming. Additionally, it can be difficult to convey to friends, family members, and co-workers what ADHD is (and isn’t!). Access to accurate, easily digestible information is a godsend.

Here's an article you might find useful. It’s written by Denise Brodey, a senior contributor at Forbes who covers mental health and disability in the workplace, and most importantly, she also has ADHD. If you're just beginning your journey as a woman with ADHD, this is a well-rounded overview of the most important aspects of the traits as well as the lived experience. Beware, my friend, it’s long, but well-written, and each section is short and to the point.

If you've been on this journey for a while, you’ll likely not be surprised by the information Brodey offers, but it might help you better describe your experience to others.

The article does a good job of illuminating the impact of late diagnosis for women and why this is still so common. It also describes how ADHD presents differently for women than it does for men, touches on co-occuring conditions, and much more. You’ll also notice lots of links to related articles published by psycom.net.
