Why is the Kaleidoscope Society focusing on women with ADHD?
50-75% of women with ADHD go undiagnosed. ADHD presents differently in women and girls, both physiologically and socially. The symptoms in women tend to be less disruptive and obvious than in men. Undiagnosed ADHD can lead to other conditions such as depression, anxiety, and more. ADHD is commonly associated with children and men, yet 6 million adult women live with ADHD. The female experience with ADHD has been largely invisible, and there's a rapidly growing need for resources and support for adult women with ADHD.
