Late-Diagnosed ADHD Women and the Invisible Forces That Shape Us
Exploring the lived experience of ADHD women, this essential guide brings together stories, science and humour. It encourages you to think deeply about your ADHD and how it has been influenced by gender expectations and internalised beliefs, allowing you to move into your future as an ADHD woman with more confidence.

I want you to remember you are not the problem.

ADHD in women is still widely misunderstood which often makes navigating the world as an ADHD woman exhausting and filled with shame. Why do I find things so challenging that other women do with ease? Why can't I get anywhere on time?

Drawing on her professional experience within the ADHD community as well as her work with late-diagnosed ADHD women, Liz Lewis is here to put these anxieties to rest. She reveals the hidden costs of masking and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, navigating relationships and motherhood, and the impossible "Triple Bind" that demands women excel in all domains while appearing effortlessly perfect.

Using stories, science, cultural analysis and humour to examine the influence of ADHD, this book can help you question the beliefs and expectations that have hindered you and encourage you reclaim space. This isn't a manual for "fixing" yourself - it's a roadmap for understanding your neurological differences with compassion.
