Live boldly as a woman with ADHD! This radical guide will show you how to cultivate your individual strengths, honor your neurodiversity, and learn to communicate with confidence and clarity.If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you've probably known--all your life--that you're different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways--from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents.Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad.It's time for a change.A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you'll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life.If you're ready to develop a strong, bold, and confident sense of self, embrace your unique brain-based differences, and cultivate your individual strengths, this step-by-step workbook will help guide the way.

I was really hoping for something different from this book. I pickled it up with the idea that it would be full of strategies and guidance for how to live more productively and effectively with ADHD. However, it works off the premise that women with ADHD have low self esteem and feel inferior as a result. Most of the book is spent trying encourage and help them get over that.... only maybe one chapter sorta talks about improving strategies.

POV: you figured out something big about yourself this fall 😅 With so much of my reading attention oriented toward graduate school or my new diagnosis, I dropped off the face of Litsy, but I'm hoping to ease back into it and maybe join a couple reading challenges for next year! 😊

Crazeedi So glad to see you back, I did same earlier this year.i hope you find support for your diagnosis. Life throws us curve balls, but I guess it's how we learn and grow. Hugs❤ 2y
Caterina @Crazeedi Thank you, Diane! I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn more about how my brain works and continue to grow into stronger strategies and skills for my life. 😊 2y
