This book is really helpful! There are not a lot of books specifically for women with ADD/ADHD. I purchased it a few months ago. This past week I had a few questions specific to ADD/ADHD & being a woman. Instead of doing a search on the internet, pulled up Terry's book as a reference. Terry 's book addresses issues woman face in life and how having ADD can complicate things, but she offers resources & information to help you get past that hurdle.My problem was related to hormones & medication. My husband would share i have problems around 4-6 pm daily. (vyvanse crash) I am so irritable, struggle focusing & often can't complete making dinner. A few times a week I say to him I must be developing dementia! When I read the chapter in Terry's book about hormones it addressed how when hormones change throughout life, some women become concerned they might have dementia! She then goes on to explain the differences between dementia and ADD/hormonal changes. How did she know? I was so relieved.Terry is very open about her personal issues r/t ADD. Not only does she talk about her ADD, she is an example of an individual that uses her ADD as a strength. For over a year, I have followed her blog. I am one of those people, diagnosed with ADD as adult. Age 38. When diagnosed you question a lot of things which might be related to ADD/ADHD; struggling in school, difficulty understanding or learning new concepts, impulsivity, interrupting other people in conversations (then losing friends), smart however unable to comprehend jokes, falling asleep during school/church, focusing on the least important thing... I was the typical girl with ADD.Last September, I joined one of Terry's women's ADD groups. It was one of the best choices I have made.
