1. They are not alone
Many adult women with ADD feel that they don't have anyone in the world who can understand their struggle. People who are aware of the problem tend to be extremely compassionate and caring. Women can join forums and support groups on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women, and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
Women with ADD should realize that they're not the only people with the condition. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors looking for signs that are typical of boys. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can be a source of confusion or even worsen ADD symptoms.
