Once thought to be a male only disorder we know now that girls with ADHD are underdiagnosed. Without a diagnosis and the deep understanding that comes with it, many women with undiagnosed ADHD describe spending a lot of their lives feeling 'different', 'stupid', 'lazy' and 'careless' - not realising that their brain operates in a different way to many of those around them. Without the correct diagnosis and treatment, ADHD can greatly affect women's self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, professional life, relationships and parenting. This week's guest, Jane McFadden, knows this all too well. As a former psychologist diagnosed with ADHD in 2022, and later Autism in 2024, Jane founded ADHD Mums to help women feel validated, give them a sense of belonging to to empower them with everything they need to reduce suffering, understand and embrace who they are, learn the role of medication and thrive. Jane McFadden is an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, Neuroscientist and Neurodivergence Assessor and Specialist living on the Sunshine Coast with her beautiful family including her three 'neurospicy' kids. www.adhdmums.com.auFB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/777102743903210IG @adhd_mumsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
