About this title: Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not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 describes not only the "typical idea" about ADD, but differentiates between ADD and ADHD.

Solden explains that many women struggle due to familial expectations -- the expectation that women must keep their homes and lives (plus those of family members) organized.
I do not currently own this book, but I intend to add it to my library as soon as I can."

"Wow. It was like she was writing this book about me! Definately a wake up call! I do find it rather ironic that I had a hard time getting through the book. hehe. ;)"
