You Are Not the Problem: Late-Diagnosed ADHD Women and the Invisible Forces That Shape Us
Autor Liz Lewis Cuvânt înainte de Terry Matlenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 2026
ADHD in women is still widely misunderstood which often makes navigating the world as an ADHD woman exhausting and filled with shame. Why do I find things so challenging that other women do with ease? Why can't I get anywhere on time?
Drawing on her professional experience within the ADHD community as well as her work with late-diagnosed ADHD women, Liz Lewis is here to put these anxieties to rest. She reveals the hidden costs of masking and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, navigating relationships and motherhood, and the impossible "Triple Bind" that demands women excel in all domains while appearing effortlessly perfect.
Using stories, science, cultural analysis and humour to examine the influence of ADHD, this book can help you question the beliefs and expectations that have hindered you and encourage you reclaim space. This isn't a manual for "fixing" yourself - it's a roadmap for understanding your neurological differences with compassion.

Recenzii
This book says what ADHD women have felt but were never allowed to name. Liz Lewis is fearless, honest, and deeply validating, challenging outdated narratives while offering compassion without sugarcoating. A necessary read.
I loved this book and am happy to recommend it. Liz writes like she's your wise, informed best friend. She engagingly and honestly describes the challenges women with ADHD have in every stage of life. If you're looking for a book easy on the eyes and food for your soul, this is it.
The male-centered lens of ADHD has needed to be expanded for decades. In "You Are Not The Problem", Liz Lewis does just that. She explores what it is like to grow up as a woman with ADHD from both a personal and expert perspective, discussing such topics as the reasons for, and impact of, late diagnosis in women, ADHD and the feminine ideal, ADHD's effect on relationships (both romantic and platonic), even hormones and perimenopause. And as proof of Liz's expertise, it's an ADHD-friendly read. If you are a woman with late diagnosed ADHD, or love someone who is, buy this book!
After years of struggling to meet expectations and feeling invisible, women diagnosed with ADHD as adults will finally feel seen and understood. Liz Lewis' must-read book is like a conversation over coffee with a knowledgeable friend, offering compassion, depth and humor.
Liz Lewis writes with honesty and depth. This book dismantles stigma, explains the lived complexity of ADHD in women, and provides a language that empowers rather than blames. A validating, insightful companion for anyone navigating late diagnosis.
