Understanding Girls with ADHD: How they feel and why they do what they do by Stephen Hinshaw, Patricia Quinn, Kathleen Nadeau, Ellen Littman

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This text is an incredible guide for parents and teachers of girls, helping to identify ADHD where it has been overlooked due to research historically studying its presentation in boys and not in girls. The book provides a chapter for each stage of development with questions for adults to reflect on the child's behavior as well as an appendix full of self-questionnaires the child can complete to begin the process. There are chapters on common challenges like comorbid conditions and executive dysfunction, as well as possible support strategies in every section. 

It was very hard to read as a late-diagnosed adult with ADHD, but very helpful and encouraging as an educator responsible for identifying and supporting my students. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has or works with children.
