“For many women with ADHD, we may be able to sit still but we can’t stop moving through our never-ending thoughts.”

“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.”

“While those of us with ADHD may struggle to focus on school, work, and other structured activities, that doesn’t mean we’re not smart. Far from it. In fact, those of us with ADHD are usually intensely curious, persistent, and lifelong learners… When we find a learning strategy that works for us, we can be excellent students, especially if we’re interested in a certain subject, since we’ll usually we want to know everything about it. If we’re not interested in the subject but have to learn it to satisfy a school or work environment, we can struggle. When ADHD students pursue university or graduate degrees where they can tailor their classes to their interests, they do much better.
I often hear stories from women with ADHD who struggled through grade school but went on to receive a PhD and graduated with highest honors.”
