A great read。 I did not read cover to cover because I do not live in the UK and I wanted to read about ADHD in girls more than women。 However, that was still a bulk of the book and it was so informative。 The authors covered so much of what to think about when it comes to ADHD in girls and all aspects of their lives。

Lots of fabulous points and it's refreshing yo get an insight which is solely on women。 I feel a lot of this should be used in teacher training and shared with SENCOs。There are some misleading parts though which make you think you have more power as a parent than you actually do have。 Maybe due to regional differences or changes to the systems and red tape。 Of which there is so much。I read the 1st 50% of this book from page to page and dipped into the rest as necessary。 A good reference point to Lots of fabulous points and it's refreshing yo get an insight which is solely on women。 I feel a lot of this should be used in teacher training and shared with SENCOs。There are some misleading parts though which make you think you have more power as a parent than you actually do have。 Maybe due to regional differences or changes to the systems and red tape。 Of which there is so much。I read the 1st 50% of this book from page to page and dipped into the rest as necessary。 A good reference point to return to。 。。。more

An excellent, much needed book。 The intended audience felt a little unclear with some of the chapters geared towards parents and others towards medical professionals, but I still found it relevant to me as a teacher。 That said, I was disappointed that the chapter on education was almost entirely about UK educational policy, making it irrelevant to those of us outside the UK。 Generally speaking, an excellent and highly recommended read for anyone wanting to learn about ADHD in girls/women。

This is a brilliant and up to the minute guide for ADHD assessment。 It is aimed at professionals, from primary care physicians to teachers to therapists to ADHD coaches, and also to parents of afab kids with ADHD who are trying to navigate the legal process of getting accommodations for their kids, with specifics given for the UK, not the US。It's not a self-help book。 There are a million ADHD self-help books。 This one is professional education for people who help afab humans reach their potentia This is a brilliant and up to the minute guide for ADHD assessment。 It is aimed at professionals, from primary care physicians to teachers to therapists to ADHD coaches, and also to parents of afab kids with ADHD who are trying to navigate the legal process of getting accommodations for their kids, with specifics given for the UK, not the US。It's not a self-help book。 There are a million ADHD self-help books。 This one is professional education for people who help afab humans reach their potential。 I am a patient, not a professional, but I was diagnosed at age 46 just before the pandemic, and then failed to receive patient education because COVID。 So now I'm researching the fuck out of my brain and recommending this book to several of my healthcare providers。。。along with a relevant list of ADHD comorbidities。 。。。more

This was such a helpful book to get to understand female ADHD。 It resonated so much with my childhood, adolescence and adulthood - I always felt like something was wrong with me, it makes me feel so much better knowing that I wasn’t (and I’m not) alone battling this hidden “monster”。 I wish I could have read this when I was younger。 Kudos to the writer and researchers who are shedding more light on female ADHD。It was a beautiful read 🙏🏾
