You've always been the one others come to in a crisis—you think fast, see solutions others miss, and can juggle seventeen things at once when you're interested.
But you also lose your keys three times a week, forget important appointments, and feel like you're constantly running behind an invisible schedule everyone else seems to effortlessly follow.Maybe you're the creative dreamer who gets lost in projects for hours, forgetting to eat or sleep, but can't seem to focus on mundane tasks that bore you to tears.


You might have been called "too sensitive," "too much," or "scattered," when what you actually are is a woman with ADHD trying to navigate a world that wasn't designed for brains like yours.
For decades, ADHD was seen as a condition that primarily affected hyperactive boys who couldn't sit still in class. This narrow understanding has left millions of women undiagnosed, misunderstood, and struggling to fit into systems that don't work for their beautifully different brains.
Women with ADHD often present differently than the classic image. We're more likely to be dreamers than disruptors, internalized rather than externalized, anxious rather than hyperactive. We might be the perfectionist who spends three hours on a task that should take thirty minutes, or the procrastinator who does their best work in the final hour before a deadline.
The statistics are staggering: women are significantly underdiagnosed with ADHD, often not receiving a diagnosis until their 30s, 40s, or even later. Many women first suspect they have ADHD when their own children are diagnosed, finally recognizing themselves in the symptoms they're learning about.
Masking and Compensation: From a young age, girls are socialized to be accommodating and quiet. Many women with ADHD become experts at masking their symptoms, developing elaborate coping systems that help them appear neurotypical while exhausting them internally.
Internalized Hyperactivity: While boys might run around the classroom, girls often experience hyperactivity as racing thoughts, emotional intensity, or restlessness that's easily overlooked.
Different Priorities: Traditional ADHD research focused on behaviors that disrupted others (primarily in classroom settings), missing the internal struggles that many women experience.
Hormonal Complexity: Women's ADHD symptoms fluctuate with hormonal changes throughout their lives—puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, perimenopause—adding layers of complexity that weren't understood or studied for decades.
