About this listen
Insights and best practice for professionals on ADHD in girls and women.
Written by expert professionals, this book provides comprehensive information about available support for women and girls with ADHD and tips for clinicians and professionals who work with them.
The symptoms of ADHD are no less impairing in females than males but can be missed or misunderstood. This book arms professionals, parents and women themselves as it maps out where to go for information, who can help and how to understand ADHD better. It explains routes to assessment and diagnosis for girls and young women, how to access support in education, available treatments and the impact of living with ADHD on overall mental health. It explores the benefits of ADHD coaching for girls to help develop their unique strengths and talents.
There is also a focus on ADHD diagnosis for women in adulthood and specific advice about treatment and medication for later in life. Central to the book are the personal experiences of ADHD from women and girls from a variety of backgrounds. These tell of late diagnosis, missed opportunities, a lifetime of adaptations and the power of recognition and treatment and are powerful stories for professionals and individuals with ADHD alike.

Useful understanding of ADHD
Lots of medical terminology which might confuse some people without a medical background but was the right level for those with science background

A superb effort resulting from enormous integrity
Narration:
Production of the narration of this book is simply gold standard for listeners with ADHD. I say this with absolute seriousness and experience of helping ADHD sufferers, among other things, to develop their ability specificly to read and listen to books. Prosody is used with very careful meaningfulness and judegment. Every paragraph is systematically broken into easily digested chunks, each chunk separated by gentle pauses. Each prosodic chunk is spoken with attractive and stimulating emotion, always appropriate to the meaning. You just don't get better narration. Those current negative Audible customer reviews which seem to target narration style in this audiobook are conspicuous in describing characteristics in terms that seem the perfect inverse of actual reality.
Editorial work in drawing the various papers together:
This is a compilation of papers by different contributors. That's not some kind of weakness! That is a perfectly normal, valued and serious minded thing to do. What is absolutely remarkable is that despite these different chapters being by different contributors, with different methods and objectives, clearly enormous effort and great success has been brought to a highly collaborative editorial process resulting in a collection of papers that actually maintains some appreciative degree of coherence of style and mood. Even the most technical papers are written with a friendliness and accessibility that completely belies the properly strict scientific discipline with which those same chapters are also created. This book was put together with a very obviously deep sense of responsibility and compassion. For example, despite the fact that this genre of book (a collection of academical articles or chapters) not giving rise to any expectation that there would be much in the way of narrative style narrations of lived experience, that is nevertheless what readers can look forward to in many places: far too many places for that to be by chance. As I say, the work is remarkably collaborative in terms of aims and outcome. Once again, oddly hot, negative reviews by several Audible customers, at time of writing, seem to identify and describe features of this book in terms that seem perfectly inverse to reality.
Difficulties faced by all pioneering research:
True progress with regard to understanding ADHD in the girls and women is only in recent years starting to accellerate. Contributors to this book have stayed true to what can truly be said at this time. The book clearly tries to include questions and information that are as broad and varied as realistically possible. The book seems to represent very faithfully the fact that there are questions and areas that we just do not know a lot about.
