Summary

In this episode, we explore why ADHD is so often missed in women and girls. Through Dr. Fox’s personal story, we discuss how ADHD can look different in women, including masking, over functioning, perfectionism, and internalized anxiety, and how gendered expectations can delay diagnosis for years.

We also talk about the emotional and nervous system impact of being missed, and what it can mean to finally have language for your experience.
