The Blueprint for Women with ADHD: Tips & Tricks to Get Motivated, Stay Organized, and Gain Lasting Confidence

The information in "The Blueprint for Women with ADHD" is well researched and backup with references to peer review articles on the subject. The author covers the definition of ADHD, why so few women are diagnosed compared to men, the author describes ADHD as an oddly gendered term. Because the medical profession seems to have accepted that it affects very few women, they miss the signs. So it goes undiagnosed, leaving the task of highlighting the matter and fighting to educate and support other women like themselves.The aim of the book is to give the reader an understanding of ADHD and to offer “ways to manage day-to-day living with ADHD.”The book discusses three types of ADHD and how the condition can and does differ from person to person. The condition is also described as the kind of disorder that exists on a spectrum.According to the information, the ways to manage ADHD are(1) through positive self-talk which reduces stress and the number of stress hormones the body is flooded with in times of stress.(2) The importance of setting healthy boundaries and limitations(3) Using “I Feel” statement(4) Mindfulness(5) Diet (accompanied by a section of recipes)(6) Removing clutter from your environment to reduce chaos.(7) Regulating your emotions by channeling your energy into various activities and practices.The information is relatable because the author knows first-hand the challenges women diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood face.I would recommend this book as a reference point for anyone who is looking for answers for their behavior and emotions and suspects that they might have this disorder.

This book has been a godsend for me and my partner. The section of the book about boundaries was particularly helpful as in the authors words "Without boundaries, you will find your energies are very quickly depleted". A must have, definitely get this one.
