ADHD for Smart Ass Women: How to Fall in Love with Your Neurodivergent Brain:
"This was equally a punch to the gut and a warm hug. I’ve been essentially ignoring my ADHD diagnosis since it’s intrusion into my life (5 years) and picked this up on a whim. I wasn’t expecting much from the girlbossification of the title/cover and w"

"Tracy Otsuka takes you on a journey to unlock the code of ADHD in ways that I have not seen before in all my readings and experiences in healthcare. She shifts the paradigm of the "disorder," turning societal "weaknesses" into superpowers. She empowe"

“For many women with ADHD, we may be able to sit still but we can’t stop moving through our never-ending thoughts.”
― ADHD for Smart Ass Women: How to Fall in Love with Your Neurodivergent Brain

“Women are more likely to internalize their symptoms Boys and men with ADHD are more likely to “externalize” their symptoms, meaning they might break rules, engage in aggressive behaviors, or mouth off. They act out. Girls and women with the condition, on the other hand, are more likely to “internalize” their symptoms. They live with their symptoms in their head. Girls and women are also more likely to suppress feelings of anger and frustration, and many times are too fearful to share with others what they’re going through. Instead of reaching out for help—or receiving it passively because they display disruptive behavior like boys often do—girls and women develop negative thought patterns when dealing with their symptoms. This exacerbates low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.”

“ADHD also manifests differently in everyone. And you don’t have to exhibit the stereotypical symptoms that many people, including doctors, associate with ADHD. Like fidgeting, misbehaving, or doing poorly in school. I was gobsmacked. How could I have made it through 4 decades of life and never considered that I might have ADHD? Pretty soon I learned I wasn’t alone. As many of 75% of girls and women with ADHD go undiagnosed.”
