Women with Attention
Deficit Disorder
Sari Solden
Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically
overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder
because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they’re not
fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male.
Sari Solden’s groundbreaking study reveals that ADD affects just as
many women as men, and that the resulting depression,
disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement are also symptoms of
ADD.
Terry Says: The "Bible" of ADHD in women. Sari has been
my long time mentor. A must-have.

Journeys Through
ADDulthood
Sari Solden
Solden, who herself has ADD and is the author of Women with
Attention Deficit Disorder, believes that many adults, whether
diagnosed or not, are suffering needlessly from ADD symptoms, which
include difficulty focusing on certain tasks, meeting deadlines,
and interacting with people. Solden describes the frustration of
several people who seemingly "fail" in job after job because of the
symptoms of ADD and describes her own "absentmindedness" and
disorganization.
Terry Says: What happens after you've been diagnosed
and started treatment? The journey has just
begun.

Too Loud, Too Bright, Too
Fast, Too Tight: What to Do If You Are Sensory Defensive in an
Overstimulating World
Sharon Heller
Do clothing labels bother you so much that you have to remove them?
Do you find many different foods repulsive? Do loud, sudden, or
piercing sounds startle you? Do you need to wear sunglasses even on
a cloudy day? Do you feel panicky going down an escalator or
driving through a tunnel? If the answer to many of these questions
is yes, you may suffer from sensory defensiveness, a common but
often misdiagnosed condition that results from adverse reactions to
what most people consider harmless sensations.

together. Learn about why things bug you!
