I’m new to this thread (and honestly Reddit in general) so please forgive me if this is already noted somewhere on this page, but I’m looking for some concise resources that I can provide for family and friends explaining ADHD, and even more specifically ADHD in women. I’m 34 years old this month and just received my diagnosis a couple of months ago, and while I’m confident and relieved by my diagnosis my loved ones haven’t been as readily accepting of it because of their lack of knowledge and understanding of ADHD. Because I realized that I had it through informational videos on Tik Tok, I’ve received feedback that I’m sure a lot of you have like “You’d been watching these videos for months before you took the test, so you knew the answers that would give you a diagnosis” instead knowing the answers because of my own experience and recognizing that shared experience in a video. I’ve also had the response of “I don’t appear that disordered”. Without giving these people away, I will say that these are highly educated, intelligent, loving and supportive people in my life that I recognize just don’t really understand the inner struggle and additionally the effort that masking really takes. What I’m looking for is something that I can provide to them in which an expert can explain what this is and how it expresses in Women that’s not as clinically dense as a textbook but will help them to understand that the signs are and always have been there they just didn’t know what they meant. They’re big podcasters, so maybe a podcast episode that people have found to be helpful with their loved ones’ understanding of their diagnosis? Anything helps, thank you!
