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.
