When "Trying Harder" Was Never the Problem
What if the struggle wasn't laziness, lack of discipline, or insufficient effort-but a fundamental difference in how your brain processes the world? For decades, countless girls have heard the same refrain: "You're so smart, if only you'd apply yourself." They've watched their male classmates receive ADHD diagnoses while their own racing thoughts, forgotten assignments, and emotional overwhelm were dismissed as personality flaws. The truth is both liberating and infuriating: ADHD in females has been hiding in plain sight, camouflaged by outdated diagnostic criteria built around hyperactive boys. While a restless boy disrupts class and gets referred for evaluation, a daydreaming girl who's "just not living up to her potential" slips through every safety net. This isn't about girls having less severe ADHD-it's about a medical system that hasn't learned to recognize what it looks like when she's drowning quietly at her desk.
