Live boldly as a woman with ADHD! This radical guide will show you how to cultivate your individual strengths, honor your neurodiversity, and learn to communicate with confidence and clarity.If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you’ve probably known—all your life—that you’re different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways—from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents.Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad.It’s time for a change.A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you’ll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life.If you’re ready to develop a strong, bold, and confident sense of self, embrace your unique brain-based differences, and cultivate your individual strengths, this step-by-step workbook will help guide the way.

"Not sure if I didn't read the summary beforehand but this was just one big pep talk. While yes I think most people with adhd feel alone and need uplifting that was all that the book was. Where were the useful tips to help with the situations we face in everyday life?
I read the words "Guidebook" on the cover. It just felt like there wasn't much study from the woman's perspective or guidance of any kind besides "Love yourself". It's also a bit dated. Another reviewer said it best. "This is just a support group manual.""
"This book was good for what it was. My issue is that it presumed we are at the beginning phase of understanding our ADD and that we don’t radically except it. I have ADD and I radically except that fact. It’s the whole reason why I was reading the book. I wanted to learn tools which I guess this book was not for. At the end they said that they had mentioned that at the beginning. But it certainly wasn’t hammered in the same way that some other things were throughout the book. Clearly I missed it with my ADD"
