[MEETUP] Adults With ADHD Education Group: ADHD in Girls & Women – Recognizing the Overlooked and Undiagnosed

Nada

Event: Adults With ADHD Education Group Meetup
Date & Time: Thursday, October 30, 2025 — 5:00 PM ET
Guest Speaker: Cynthia Hammer, MSW — Founder, FINDtheADHDgirls.org
While boys with ADHD often attract attention through hyperactive or disruptive behavior, many girls are quiet, conscientious, and easily overlooked — and their struggles can go unrecognized for years. Join Cynthia Hammer as she discusses why these “invisible” girls are missed, how missed diagnoses can affect adulthood, and how the new resource FINDtheADHDgirls.org supports educators, clinicians, parents, and adults who were once those girls.
Main Points We’ll Cover:
- Why girls with ADHD are often underdiagnosed and how gender expectations shape recognition.
- Subtle signs of ADHD in quiet/non-disruptive girls to watch for at school and at home.
- Emotional and functional impacts when diagnosis and support are delayed.
- How the FINDtheADHDgirls.org repository is organized and how professionals/parents can use it.
- Practical steps adults can take now to advocate for themselves or the girls in their lives.
- How clinicians and educators can change identification and support practices.
