If you are feeling misunderstood, unrecognised, overlooked, or a little lost, you are not alone. So let's shed some light on the widespread misconceptions that women with ADHD often experience to help you feel a little less alienated.
The symptoms of ADHD that manifest in girls are more inattentive, you may have heard the term "she's in her own world" or " She is such a dreamer" which is why so many young girls are misdiagnosed. The misdiagnosis means that so many young girls are not getting the support they so desperately need especially when they hit adolescents. This is a huge issue and one of the key reasons why women feel alone and misunderstood.
Our objective as a women-run business is to increase awareness and provide as much aid and support as possible so that you feel more recognised. Here are a few ways to help you spot some of the inattentive symptom’s women with ADHD struggle with.
Unable to pay attention when someone speaks to you directly. You find it difficult to concentrate on what is being said or you become distracted easily.
Unable to complete tasks in time. ADHD can make it challenge to be productive and operate well in a collaborative environment, as well as to finish projects at either school or work.
Issues with time management. You find challenging to arrive on time for social events, work, or school, and you frequently misjudge the amount of time needed to get things done. You struggle to meet deadlines, frequently miss appointments, and procrastinate a lot.
Missing or forgetting items on a regular basis. Your disorganisation and forgetfulness can lead to a disorganised office, car, and house, as well as a tendency to misplace item.
Unable to pay attention when someone speaks to them directly. You find it difficult to concentrate on what is being said or you get preoccupied easily.
Having a short attention span. You regularly struggle to concentrate, daydream frequently, or become easily bored, especially when working on mundane or uninteresting jobs.
Overly focused on certain thing, becoming "hyperfocus" or become completely engrossed in something stimulating.
