While these thoughts can be rerouted over time and with practice, they must first be recognized without judgment.

When she expressed interest in majoring in history, her parents commented, “Don’t be ridiculous,” as they rolled their eyes and walked away. With the concept of neurodiversity, Thomas Armstrong (2010) addresses the much healthier and broader way of celebrating and understanding those with brain-based differences instead of viewing them as inferior.

Consider some of these common descriptions of how women feel at this point in their journey and how they might relate to you. Sari Solden, for years the great pioneer in working with women and ADHD, has now teamed up with Michelle Frank to create this dynamic, valuable workbook that will help women embolden themselves to break out of whatever self-imposed exiles they may have lived in and soar to the heights they deserve and will love.

It makes you understand, you are not alone, there are many out there like you, which is a big relief. Describe or draw a situation that makes you feel humiliated, afraid, or as if you want to hide whenever you think about it. Many of the messages and limiting beliefs that we as women with ADHD have deeply internalized come from our early experiences with differences and the perceptions of those close to us. From our current vantage point, we can see that Solden’s bold and honest words changed the landscape of ADHD forever. We can enjoy the picturesque rolling countryside outside the window, the people we meet, and the excitement of traveling to places we have always dreamed of visiting while also allowing the annoying, irritating, sometimes intruding other passenger to exist somewhere on the train.Solden and Frank embrace you--the reader--and travel along with you, sharing new ways to see yourself, not just as a woman with ADHD, but as a woman with so much to offer. What views did you hear expressed about the differences of others—visible or invisible—in your family, community, or in the general culture?

You probably understand what we mean when we say that having ADHD can feel like you have something wonderful inside, just waiting to bloom, if only you could break free from all of the things holding you back. They offer the opportunity to understand your role in the world by seeing it from a position of acceptance and compassion. I do not believe it to be an overstatement to say that she unlocked the psychic prison isolating women with ADHD.To explore these tangles, we have to be aware of what happens within systems (relationships, communities, groups, etc. Reflection: Exploring Your Self-Talk It is possible that, after reading these examples and cues, some more examples unique to your experience have come to mind? If you suspect you have ADHD, it is important to meet with a professional who has some experience in diagnosing and treating the condition. Within its pages are strategies, tips, and worksheets to help readers overcome negative self-talk, combat the shame that may follow (and/or precede) an ADHD diagnosis, and connect with an understanding and supportive community. understand your relationship to the idea of difference, because this is exactly the world us women with ADHD inhabit: a world of difference.

It is also the beginning of every meaningful step we take, especially since we all—yes, everyone—will face adversity and struggle at some point in our lives—ADHD or not. Medication, therapy, coaching, and other ADHD-friendly interventions will make it much easier to be more of who you really are—not less.They won’t tell you what to do, but, like any good friends, they will help you figure out what you want to do. As girls, we learn which behaviours, thinking, learning and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated and which are frowned upon.
