Resources - ADHD and Women

Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, General

Women with Attention Deficit Disorder by Sari Solden, M.S., LMFT, rev. 2005.  Women with ADHD face special issues related to their gender and societal expectations that most men with ADHD don't face. They also face special challenges when it comes to asserting themselves effectively to deal with ADHD. Solden is the leading expert in this topic. If the woman in your couple has ADHD, this can be a life-changing book.

Though not related to ADHD specifically, A Woman's Touch Sexuality Resource Center is a good resource for women who are looking to regain sexual function and/or have pain during intercourse.
