This was a super accessible guide to identifying and managing ADHD sx for women specifically. As a therapist, I will definitely recommend this to my clients who want to work on better understanding this diagnosis and building consistency with skills practice.

This book is informational and a workbook at the same time. If I had to rate the pace, I would say it would be better to read at a slow pace if you are really wanting to focus on all the different areas she covers.
I gave this 5 stars because it personally was beneficial to me and helping me feel like I had tools that could help me with areas I have a hard time in. I also think it’s a great overview that many girls and women could find helpful — especially if they are someone like me who is really trying to figure out if they have an ADHD diagnosis.

I appreciated the focus on self-compassion and being patient with yourself as you are trying to find habits that work for you. This has general information about ADHD that is really helpful, but if you’re looking for a deep history on women and ADHD this isn’t really the book. This is a resource book that tries to give you strategies/skills you can start working on right away.

I am very much going to buy a physical copy of this to keep at my house. I will also put one on my classroom shelf.

This was really interesting. I’m actually very excited to see how this fares for me and my adhd. Willing to give anything a shot.

As a 34 year old woman who recently discovered that I have ADHD, I thought that this book was incredibly helpful and insightful. I loved that the author took the approach that ADHD does not make you a failure nor is it necessarily a disability, but rather saw it as a superpower. This is the first time that I’ve seen someone take this approach, so I greatly appreciated it!

The author covered many different topics, such as parenting, relationships, as well as day to day life with ADHD, and also included different questions with each section that you can work through. I loved that it was both interactive as well as helpful as it got to the point and gave helpful tips on how to manage life with ADHD.

I will definitely recommend this book to anyone with ADHD! I appreciate NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read it!

This was so incredibly helpful. I cried several times throughout just because I felt so, so seen. I am a femme presenting queer person who has always had ADHD but only recently got a diagnosis as an adult. It was incredibly special to me how this book acknowledged that just of past frustration and feelings of inadequacy dealing with a disability we had no tools for.

The journaling prompts were life changing and I would recommend this to every femme identifying person I know. ADHD operates so differently for us and this book is a huge step on the path to no longer gaslighting myself about my mind, my disability, and my potential.
