👧 Why Are So Many Girls Missed or Misunderstood?
ADHD in girls often goes unrecognized or is misdiagnosed — especially when anxiety is also in the picture. Symptoms can be masked by perfectionism, people-pleasing, and internal struggles that don’t always show up as disruptive behavior. When we miss the signs, we miss the chance to offer timely support.
Join us for this important session where we will explore how ADHD and anxiety can overlap and present differently in girls, and what we can do to better identify and support them early.
