Did you know that the median age of a woman being diagnosed with ADHD is 38 years old? Wild, right?!

Not only are so many girls with ADHD overlooked as kids and teenagers, but the boys who get a diagnosis at a young age are expected to “grow out of it” once they become adults.

There are countless misinterpretations about this disorder. So it’s no wonder that most adults with ADHD feel confused, overwhelmed, and worst of all, ashamed that doing this whole “adulting” thing is so much harder for them than other people.

That’s why we’re so grateful that Kristen Carder has made it her mission to help adults with ADHD learn the truth about how their brain works, accept themselves, and get access to the resources and community they need to build a life that works for them.

Listen in as we get into…

  • The most common misconceptions about ADHD vs. what’s really true
  • An overview of the symptoms of ADHD, and how they show up in adulthood (some of these will surprise you!)
  • Why you don’t need to be consistent in order to be successful, and what you need instead of consistency (this applies to everyone, not just adults with ADHD)
  • How someone who doesn’t have ADHD can best support the people in their life who do
