Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they’re not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male. Sari Solden’s groundbreaking study reveals that ADD affects just as many women as men, and that the resulting depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement are also symptoms of ADD. Newly revised and updated to reflect the latest clinical research, the book explores treatment and counseling options, and uses real-life case histories to examine the special challenges women with ADD and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) face, such as the shame of not fulfilling societal expectations. Included is a brand new chapter on friendship for women with ADHD. Three empowering steps — restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image — help women take control of their lives and enjoy sucess on their own terms.

This is an excellent resource that I would highly recommend to anyone that wants to learn more about females with AD/HD. It is also very readable if you have ADD; it is entertaining, informative, practical, and broken down in a way that allows readers to quickly find what they are looking for. If you are affected with the disorder, teach students with ADD, the parent of a child with ADD, or just find the topic interesting, this book is the best single resource I have found on the topic.

This is one of the very first books that has addressed concerns of the ADHD woman. It has given very first hand knowledge and advice from someone who has been there. She is a therapist who has ADHD herself and lives with it successfully.
I will use this book as a kind of "Bible" every day.

I had checked this book out of the library before I bought it. For any woman that has been diagnosed with ADD and grew up not knowing you were ADD, this book is amazing! It is as if someone is sitting in your head writing down all the different emotions and feelings that you have ever had. It is very helpful in coming to terms with and accepting your ADD as a part of who you are. Then it helps you to find ways to work around the negative effects of ADD. This book totally changed my life!

I think this is one of the best books for women with Add. Most books are boring and technical or focus on children with ADD. This book is written for women who are often left behind in being diagnosed correctly or who want info for themselves. I kept this book and like to read it again now and then to get inspiration. Sari Solden is great at keeping it simple so everyone can understand the info presented. There are some lists to help you. I recommend this book to everyone.
