ADHD girls and women often fall under the radar. Their lives impacted by a society that is largely disinterested in understanding ADHD outside of the male framework. No longer. This book connects the latest science on ADHD in women to the compelling lived experiences of girls and women with ADHD, weaving in their personal struggles and their breakthroughs, from childhood and the teen years through to motherhood, menopause and beyond.

Family doctor, psychiatrist, and international ADHD expert Lotta Borg Skoglund combines years of experience in the treatment and assessment of ADHD with the powerful testimonies of the women she has encountered along the way, exploring issues such as hormonal changes, emotional regulation, organisation and concentration, relationships, work, and treatment. She provides valuable tips, strategies and insights as to how ADHD girls and women can achieve the self-understanding they need to live to their best potential.

Review

ADHD Girls to Women: Getting on the Radar gives clear and compelling insights behind and beyond the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Focusing on key topics for female ADHDers such as hormones, mental health, family life and the workplace, women will feel seen and heard in ways which have been missing for years. This text will be top of my list for recommended reads. -- Jo Steer, Chartered Clinical Psychologist and author of Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women

Every healthcare practitioner and allied professional working with girls and women with ADHD should read this book. Every girl and woman who has ADHD, or who believes they may have ADHD, should read it. It will give them a sense of validation, to know that there are people 'out there' who understand them and who 'get' them. It will help them to recognize that they do not have to be leaves in the wind. -- Professor Susan Young, BSc, PhD, DClinPsy, CPsychol, CSci, AFBPS

This book is an answer for individuals to better understand what ADHD is about. In this book, an explanation is given about many factors that women go through on a daily basis which is unfortunately misunderstood in society - hormones, up and down emotions and the various other conditions that are connected to ADHD which can be detrimental to women who have been living an invisible life and suffering alone 'without the much needed support they deserve'.

We highly recommend that everyone reads this book, which is not only for women, mothers or daughters. Anyone who wants to know more about ADHD in women and girls needs this book.

-- Chantel Fouche, ADHD Europe

    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024

    This 207 page book provides a wealth of information about how ADHD presents in girls and women. It describes many of the challenges they experience when their ADHD goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. It provides a framework for understanding why females with ADHD have gone undiagnosed for too long and steps we can take to correct this-- by recognizing the various ways ADHD presents in females and how those presentations differ from what society believe ADHD is--hyperactive, disruptive little boys.

    Therapists who need to be educated about ADHD in females would benefit themselves and their clients by reading this book. Physicians who unknowingly are caring for females with ADHD would enhance their patient's care if they learn to recognize ADHD in their female patients.

    In short, this very descriptive book, that includes vignettes to highlight the various challenges of a life lived with ADHD, will add greatly to the awareness and understanding of ADHD in females. I applaud the author for a very worthwhile addition to the literature on ADHD.

    3.0 out of 5 stars interesting
    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024
    ADHD Girls to Women is a comprehensive, well-researched book that is specific about the impact and implications of ADHD diagnoses on girls and women. Skoglund draws from her expertise as a clinical psychologist to navigate the complex journey of females with ADHD.

    While this book is a short read, it unfortunately leaves me wanting more - I understand that the research on ADHD in females is lacking, but there is no commentary on where we go from here.
    However, I am impressed with how detailed Skoglund is from a biological standpoint. She touches upon structures of the brain and emotions and how this impacts the patient as they develop through life.

    I would like to see Skoglund's expertise on the treatment of ADHD women, especially the effects of medication on the biological level.

    Thanks to NetGalley and Jessica Kingley Publishers for the ARC.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Helpful Overview of ADHD in women
    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024
    Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

    ADHD Girls to Women almost feels like a call to the medical community to step up and break down the gender bias in ADHD research. This book explained the female brain and how ADHD can present at different stages of life. Women have been under diagnosed for decades and shamed for their issues due to the gender bias both in medicine and society in general. This is a very informative book that would serve any woman who thinks she may have ADHD or anyone who may have a another female in their life with this diagnosis (or the symptoms but no diagnosis) well.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
    As the mother of 4 kids, one girl and 3 boys, all of which have been diagnosed with ADHD/ADD, I found this book to be a good read.
    My daughter took a lot longer to diagnose and has been very different from her brothers in how she presents. Now at 20, we’re finally at a decent point with her medication and therapy.
    A worthwhile read for all women!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great resource with some caveats.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023
    There was a lot to like about this book. As a woman raising two AFAB children in a household full of neurodivergence, seeing the experiences on paper was amazing. So many times the narratives struck home and the well researched explanations of why ADHD brains behave this way was enlightening. Compared to how much of ADHD diagnosis and treatment occurs here in the US, focusing almost entirely on the experience of white boys, this approach to understanding and managing symptoms feels light years ahead.

    However, and here is where it becomes only a middling book, some of the information felt surprisingly dated. The entire book is strictly binary when it comes to gender and treats sex and gender as one synonymous entity. I will grant that this may be an issue of translation (I don't speak enough languages to know how the use of the singular "they" is evolving worldwide), but it felt very glaring. Adding in the occasional reference to studies that are pretty commonly known as outdated and/or poorly designed (do people still think the Marshmallow Test is a real thing?) and the book loses some appeal.

    I can't say this would be a bad addition to a Neurodivergence Reading list, but it should be read with an eye to some shortcomings. Overall, I enjoyed the book, found much of it to be informative and have already recommended it to some of my parenting cohort.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for women and girls with ADHD, and all clinicians who work with them
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This book is absolutely packed full of information about ADHD, and although it's obviously focussed on women and girls, there's lots in there about ADHD in general which is useful. Lotta Borg Skoglund has a great way of describing complex ideas and concepts in straightforward understandable ways.

    Where this book really comes into its own is through the many real life stories illustrating how ADHD impacts on women and girls across the lifespan. This brings to life the key issues, and importantly translates these into what clinicians might see in their clinic room, and what people who have ADHD will recognise as being part of their experiences.

    All of this is packed into a really readable and concise book - I read this in two sittings, and will refer back to it often. It's vital that we start to recognise the women and girls who are struggling under the radar, and I'd recommend this excellent book as a place for women exploring their experiences, and clinicians who are recognising the need to carefully understand how best to help.
