My daughter's ADHD went undiagnosed longer than it should have.  We just didn't recognize the signs.  After all, she didn't act like the boys I saw at school that were taking Ritalin.  It had to be something else... 

Luckily, parents and doctors are starting to realize that just as many girls as boys have Attention Deficit Disorder.  Since their symptoms are often so different, too many girls go undiagnosed. As a result, they struggle without the help they need.  They often refer to themselves as dumb or stupid.  They may feel inadequate and isolated.  Taking the time to learn about ADHD and how to help a girl with the disorder to succeed, can make a significant difference in her life.  I wish I had known sooner.

If you are visiting this page, there is a very good chance you are aware of most, if not all, of the information here!  I do hope you find something that you haven't seen before!
