Women with Attention Deficit Disorder

Embrace Your Differences and Transform Your Life

By: Sari Solden

Narrated by: Sari Solden

Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not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.

It's like she's telling my life story .

This book motivates women to embrace their ADHD. Love your gifts vs hating your disorder.

I felt like this book was written about me.

The awakening

I am greatly appreciate having read this book . So much insight on how to deal with my ADHD symptoms effectively...

Game changing content

The valuable content in this book FAR outweighed the monotone narration in my opinion. I was able to do other things while listening (driving, walking, laundry, coloring, cooking etc.) which really helped me to focus on the material. The detailed descriptions of what ADHD looks and feels like resulted in several tearful “ok-so-it’s-not-just-me” moments. It might be painful to get through for some who struggle with attentive listening but if multitasking is a strategy that works for you, I strongly believe what you get out of it will be worth the investment.
