Female stereotypes

By Sistah Afroe December 7, 2012 - 8:14am

I was thinking about how ADHD traits, can cause stress where they interfere with the ability to meet others expectations of you. I ask this as a late diagnostic case. Questions I have are:
How much support did you get before you knew?
If any how much support do you get now?
Do people/loved ones treat you differently?

My mother likes to say things 'like your a girl you should know that', and I always think.....why should I know this did you tell me?'

Description

This is a group for women living with ADHD. Whether diagnosed early or later in life it is important for us to speak about our experience with ADHD, good or bad. This group is to share advice, anecdotes etc. For too long we have been judged by male presentations of ADHD, well we need to make a point that in order to support women better, all need understand what we need for that support to be successful. It starts with communication and trust. I hope some may find this group a place to start and continue. (Savvy indépendant sisters talking about Hyperkinesis)
