There is tons out there on ADHD and how this affects children, though little has been said about adults who come into this diagnosis later on in life, and even less about adult women. The world expects us to be responsible grown-ups, managing jobs, money, kids’ schedules, etc., and to do this all with ease and a smile. Yet, our interest-based nervous systems often redirect our attention, throwing a rather large wrench in our ability to “adult” like everyone else, leaving us with a lingering sense of shame and wondering what is wrong with us. This same interest-based nervous system also drives us into bursts of creative energy that can explode with innovative ideas, the ADHD superpower.
