CHADD - Children & Adults with ADHD

“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.

Many girls with ADHD grew up hearing the same message: “You’re smart… you’re just not trying.”

For decades, ADHD research focused mainly on boys. As a result, many girls struggled in school without anyone recognizing what was really happening.

This Women’s History Month, CHADD honors the women researchers and clinicians who helped change that narrative and expand our understanding of ADHD in girls and women.
