For far too long in the area of ADHD "boys have made all the noise" whilst girls and women with ADHD have gone undetected, unrecognised and suffered in silence. This book, written with a combination of experts in the field and the voices of girls and women who have lived with ADHD, outlines the scale of the issue and what can be done about it. This book is not just timely it is vital. By highlighting the impact of ADHD in girls and women this book will change many lives, not just for girls and women today but for all those in the future. In my view this is the most important book written in the field of ADHD for many, many years. -- Fin ORegan, behaviour and SEND consultant and trainer Promotional Insights and best practice for professionals on ADHD in girls and women Long Description Written by expert professionals, this book provides comprehensive information about available support for women and girls with ADHD and tips for clinicians and professionals who work with them.
