About this ebook

Does it feel like you're living behind a mask, working twice as hard just to keep up? Or are you watching your bright, capable daughter struggle silently, labeled as "shy," "ditzy," "anxious," or "unmotivated," while her true potential remains hidden? For countless teenage girls, the reality of ADHD isn't the stereotypical hyperactive boy; it's a quiet, internal battle against distraction, disorganization, overwhelming emotions, and crippling self-doubt.

You see the frustration, the forgotten assignments, the messy room, the exhaustion from trying to appear "normal." You feel the sting of being misunderstood, the anxiety of constantly falling short, and the loneliness of feeling fundamentally different. You've tried countless strategies, maybe even blamed yourself or her, wondering why things that seem easy for others feel impossible. The truth is, traditional views of ADHD have left girls behind, rendering their unique challenges invisible.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Unmasking ADHD Girls is your essential guide, a compassionate and evidence-based roadmap written by Dr. Clara Hayes specifically for teenage girls and the parents who support them. Moving beyond outdated stereotypes, this book illuminates the often-missed signs of ADHD in girls – from the impact of hormones and the tendency to mask struggles, to the challenges with emotional regulation and executive functions. It validates the lived experience of girls while translating complex science into clear, actionable advice.

Inside, you'll discover:


-Why ADHD manifests differently in girls and how to recognize the subtle, internalizing signs often missed by parents and teachers.

-How to navigate the assessment process effectively and advocate for an accurate diagnosis, smashing harmful myths along the way.

-Practical, brain-based strategies for conquering homework, taming procrastination, organizing your world, and managing time blindness.

-Tools to understand and manage intense emotions, rejection sensitivity (RSD), and the cycle of overwhelm and burnout.

-Guidance on building stronger friendships, navigating social complexities, and fostering open family communication.

-Insights into the crucial role of sleep, nutrition, exercise, and building positive, sustainable habits.

-How to leverage technology effectively and prepare for transitions to high school and beyond.

-Stop letting misunderstood symptoms dictate potential. It's time to lift the mask, understand the unique strengths and challenges of the female ADHD brain, and empower yourself or your daughter to not just cope, but truly thrive.

I liked the honesty in the stories, even if some were sad. The chapter about self-advocacy should be read by every girl with ADHD.
