Description

"I thought I knew a bit about women and ADHD but this book has opened my eyes. What an incredible exploration of the impact of hormones on neurodiversity, and the challenges women face as a result."

ADHD Chatter podcast host and bestselling author Alex Partridge

Women and girls with ADHD are often left feeling misunderstood and inadequately supported by health care. This comes as no surprise when research has historically almost exclusively been conducted on boys and men, leading to a lack of understanding around female specific ADHD challenges.

This clear and accessible guide:


Is written by two experienced doctors and ADHD experts.



Provides vital knowledge on the ADHD brain and female sexual and reproductive development.



Introduces an 'ADHD 24/7 language' which provides a tailored approach to self-care for ADHD women and girls.



Explores everything from ADHD and common cooccurring conditions like anxiety, eating disorders and PCOS, to hormonal treatments and contraception.



Introduces five fictional women at different hormonal phases of their lives from puberty through to post-menopause to give insight into the lived experience of ADHD.

Advance Praise

I thought I knew a bit about women and ADHD but this book has opened my eyes. What an incredible exploration of the impact of hormones on neurodiversity, and the challenges women face as a result. It has huge breadth and depth, it covers the full female lifespan and the many different ways in which ADHD presents itself in different women, at different ages, and best of all it is wise and compassionate without being patronising or too scientific. Highly recommended for any woman - or man; I think this is a major contribution to a very under-researched and under-resourced field. -- Alex Partridge ― ADHD Chatter podcast host and bestselling author

A much-needed guide to ADHD and female hormones. Insightful, practical, and empowering, it offers understanding, self-care strategies, and important guidance around medication. Essential reading for women and their support networks. -- Dr Jo Steer ― ADHD and Autism Specialist and Author of 'Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women'

Kind, gentle, empowering - the book stands to be an ADHD girl's, then an ADHD woman's, best friend, advocate and cheerleader. So much guidance and information is packed into these pages, and the book does an amazing job of staying relevant to girls and women throughout their lives. -- Dr Rachel Moseley ― Principal Academic in Psychology, Bournemouth University; author of 'Autistic Menopause: A Guide to the Menopausal Transition for Autistic People and Those Supporting Them'
