A lot of what we understand about ADHD in women and girls exists because women researchers pushed the field to look beyond the “hyperactive boy” stereotype.

Really interesting read about the people changing #ADHD research: https://chadd.org/adhd-news/adhd-news-adults/adhd-weekly-leading-the-change-women-advancing-adhd-research/

A growing number of adults in their 40s, 50s, and beyond are discovering something unexpected: the “cognitive chaos” they blamed on aging may actually be undiagnosed #ADHD.

Better recognition could change how people experience aging & get the help they deserve.

Is It Aging, or Is It ADHD?

Middle-aged Americans are considering a new possible explanation for their slowing brain.

Ever thought you were being clear, only to realize they heard something completely different?

Maybe it’s NOT your communication deficit.
Maybe it’s a mismatch in communication styles.

Join @anitarobertsonlcsw and me at #NeuroDiversion in Austin for a session entitled "Misunderstood to Effective: Strengthening Communication for Authentic Connection."

Different brains. Different styles. Real connection.

Our culture judges sleep habits, which can steal focus, peace, and even connection. You don’t need to apologize for protecting your attention and rest — your sleep pattern is part of your wellbeing, not a performance metric.

Our attention is finite & social media is engineered to capture it. And scrolling isn’t rest; it’s draining. Choosing what not to engage with may be one of the most important attention skills we can build.

Your ADHD brain exists in a larger context of your body, and a growing research base on women with #ADHD shows that hormones matter. We need hormone-informed ADHD care that takes into account women’s monthly cycles & hormonal changes over the life cycle. https://www.additudemag.com/cycle-syncing-adhd-meds-womens-treatment-study/
Negative Mood, ADHD Symptoms Intensify with Menstruation: Study

February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate Black culture, achievements, and voices across all communities. CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD) is highlighting stories, podcasts, articles, and resources that honor Black leaders, advocates, families, and lived experiences in the #ADHD community. https://chadd.org/black-history-month/
Black History Month - CHADD

Black Americans are diagnosed with ADHD more often than other groups, but they often face barriers to receiving the health services they need.

ADHD doesn’t discriminate, but too many Black individuals still face barriers to diagnosis, support, and care due to stigma, bias, and lack of representation. It’s time for a change.

This month, ADDA is offering a FREE 30-day membership, plus programming about disparities in ADHD diagnosis & advocacy, and more.

Your story matters. Representation matters. Equity in care matters.

Let’s build a more inclusive #ADHD community -- together.
