In her private practice just north of New York City, NY, she focuses on a high-IQ adult and adolescent population, with expertise in identifying complex presentations of ADHD that may be overlooked. Maybe this will be something I turn back to when I've had more time to sit with the diagnosis and how it's affected my life and behavior, but at this point, it's not what I needed. So much fluff about accepting yourself with ADHD, that someone with ADHD would not be able to hold their attention on the subject matter. And you probably should ask for help doing your chores not just because you are struggling with ADHD but because you are not actually obligated to fulfill your gender expectations and to manage all the family stuff alone as a wife.Using creativity and humor, Zoë tells her entertaining story, not holding back on what it’s really like to have your career and relationships challenged with ADHD.

She has been counseling adults, consulting with professionals, supporting neurodiverse women mental health professionals, writing and speaking about this subject around the world for the past thirty-five years.

Each chapter addresses something that is common amongst women with ADHD, though we each may manifest it differently. Released in July 2019, it’s working off of the latest information we have on ADHD and women, although I would still add the second edition of the next book to your must-have list! It touches on the emotional roadblocks that impact our lives with ADHD, and builds skills around mindfulness and self-compassion. They also mention a couple of times that things are different for woman from different backgrounds (race, socioeconomic status, sexuality, etc) but don’t put any effort into gearing any of the book to said individuals, which makes it extra unhelpful.
