Women with Attention Deficit Disorder

by Sari Solden
This book addresses the millions of chronically overwhelmed women with ADD who go undiagnosed because they don't fit the stereotypical notion of people with ADD. Sari Solden, a therapist with ADD, combines real-life histories with the latest clinical research. She highlights the special challenges of women with ADD. Ms. Solden poignantly depicts the shame many women experience when they are unable to conform to our society's degrading "job description for women."

Through exercises, self-talk and client stories she helps women dismantle their self-images as "slobs" or "space-cadets" and enjoy a "New Cycle of Success" on their own terms. Also available on audio cassette recorded by Ms. Solden.

Dismissed and Undiagnosed Dreamers
by Paula and Becky Stanford
This well-produced video written by a mother and daughter team, sends a high-impact message in a gentle and touching manner - girls and women with ADD are being ignored and overlooked. Becky, diagnosed at 13, and now a social worker who has successfully earned her master's degree, poignantly describes the pain she felt as an adolescent girl who was dismissed as "spacey" and "silly." She talks about how important it has been that she, as well as friends and family, have come to recognize her intelligence which was masked by rambling speech, chronic lateness and forgetfulness.
Becky and her mother, who was diagnosed with ADD as an adult, speak out as strong advocates for the recognition and understanding of girls with ADD. Dismissed and Undiagnosed Dreamers is an excellent tool for parent groups and teacher training sessions.
