Late diagnosed ADHD women, can you relate?

“I prayed the years would last before my son left home.”

Thirty-five years later, after raising three children and receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, one mother looks back on motherhood with new understanding.

CHADD editorial advisory board member Jane Indergaard, DNP, RN, reflects on what it means for many women to discover ADHD later in life—and how that realization can bring new understanding to the past.

What do ADHD and attachment styles have to do with each other?
More than you think.
ADHD can make it hard to regulate emotions or follow through, which creates misunderstandings. But if you dig deeper, you might find that attachment issues—like needing reassurance or shutting down emotionally—are playing a role too.
In this short video, I talk about how ADHD and attachment styles interact—and how they can either build or break your relationships.

Feeling like your wife no longer respects you?
It’s one of the most painful—and isolating—experiences in a marriage.
Disrespect might show up as sarcasm, criticism, or being ignored. But underneath that? There’s often emotional distance, stress, or resentment that hasn’t been addressed.
👉 In this post, I break down the signs, causes, and real steps you can take to restore respect and connection. It’s not too late to change the tone of your relationship.
Let me know which part resonated most with you—or send it to someone who might need to see this today.

Why do we do what we do for the people we love?
Because when we understand the why behind a request, it turns a task into a mission.

If I ask you for a paper clip, you might not think twice.
But if I say, “I need it because a child needs that clip to keep a door open and feel safe”—you’re going to do whatever it takes.

🧠 This is the power of context and empathy in relationships.
🗣️ When you give your partner the why, you invite them into your world.
💬 And when you ask for something, ask with clarity, not just need.

📽️ Watch the quick video here, and if it resonates—share it with someone who needs this reminder.

Speaking to my neurodivergent and ADHD followers! 🎧✨
Do you ever find yourself diving deep into conversations, asking too many questions, and then noticing the other person pulling away? 😬 You’re not alone! Many ADHD individuals struggle to stay engaged in surface-level small talk—it’s just not how our brains work!
I totally relate, and in my conversation with Ian Anderson Gray on The Smart ADHD Podcast, we dive into why this happens and how to navigate it. My episode, ADHD & Unmasking, is all about understanding these challenges and finding strategies that work.

Ever felt like you're putting on a performance just to get through the day? 🎭
As Purim begins, I can’t help but reflect on the deeper meaning behind the holiday’s traditions. We wear masks on Purim, but for many ADHD individuals, masking is an everyday reality—hiding struggles, thoughts, and emotions to fit into social or professional expectations.
In my recent conversation with Ian Anderson Gray on The Smart ADHD Podcast, we dove into the reality of ADHD masking—how it drains energy, creates communication struggles in relationships, and leads to emotional exhaustion.
I shared insights from my work as a licensed therapist specializing in ADHD couples, including the differences in how men and women experience masking and practical strategies to help navigate it. One story that stood out was about a couple where one partner constantly masked their true feelings—leading to deep misunderstandings and frustration. 💔
Purim reminds us that things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes, unmasking is the only way to truly connect—with others and with ourselves.
👉 If you've ever felt the weight of masking, or if you want to better understand ADHD in relationships and daily life, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
