Hi, I’m Cynthia, the FINDtheADHDgirls Founder!
As a young girl, I always felt different, but I could never understand why. My parents were so concerned I was ‘unusual’, they sent me for a hospital evaluation. It was the 1950’s and the understanding of ADHD was practically non-existent.
Fast-forward to age 49, when I was finally diagnosed with ADHD, the doctor told me I was going to have a totally new life – and I did. Now, age 80 – I’m on a mission. Over 70 years later, little has changed. Many young girls are getting missed for ADHD diagnosis just like I did.
I started FINDtheADHDgirls to make sure every young ADHD girl won’t feel different or alone again.
Last year I wrote a book about my life called “Living with Inattentive ADHD: Climbing the Circular Staircase of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.” It is an award-winning, best-selling book on Amazon. Several noted ADHD clinicians praise it for its honesty and specificity about the challenges faced by someone with ADHD, particularly when undiagnosed.
I hope by making a professionally recorded audio version of my book available for free more people will become aware of the inattentive type of ADHD and that it will lead to more children getting diagnosed earlier in their lives and more adults getting correctly diagnosed. Download, listen, and share your copy of “Living with Inattentive ADHD.”
