Our Stories Matter - Too Much, Not Enough: Late Diagnosis of ADHD in Women

For many women, an ADHD diagnosis doesn't come in childhood - it comes after years of feeling different, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or wondering why life seems harder than it appears for everyone else.

Join us for an honest and insightful online conversation as three professional women share their personal and professional perspectives on receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life.

Together, we'll explore:

• Why ADHD is so often overlooked in girls and women.

• The emotional impact of a late diagnosis.

• The challenges of navigating work, relationships, parenting, and everyday life.

• Why support, strategies, and understanding can make a difference.

• The strengths, resilience, and self-compassion that can emerge through understanding your neurodivergent mind.

Whether you're exploring your own experiences, supporting someone you care about, or simply wanting to learn more, this conversation offers a compassionate space to listen, learn, and connect.

This is more than a discussion about ADHD - it's a conversation about identity, understanding, and the power of finally making sense of your story.
