Unmasking ADHD Girls

From Invisible Struggles to Empowered Teen. A Practical Guide for Girls and Parents to Understand Symptoms, Navigate Challenges, and Thrive with ADHD

De: Dr. Clara Hayes

Narrado por: Anne Koshio

Does it feel like you or your daughter are constantly falling behind, despite working twice as hard to keep up?

Many teenage girls with ADHD aren’t hyperactive or disruptive—they’re mislabeled as “shy,” “ditzy,” or “unmotivated.” In reality, they’re fighting a quiet, exhausting battle against distraction, disorganization, emotional overwhelm, and self-doubt.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and it’s not your fault.

You’ve seen the forgotten assignments, the messy room, the burnout from trying to appear “normal.” You’ve tried strategies, blamed yourself, and wondered why everything feels harder than it should. That’s because traditional ADHD definitions leave girls out, rendering their struggles invisible.

Unmasking ADHD Girls is a compassionate, evidence-based guide by Dr. Clara Hayes, created for teenage girls and the parents who support them.

This book goes beyond stereotypes to highlight how ADHD truly shows up in girls—from hormone-driven masking to emotional regulation and executive function challenges. With clarity and empathy, it validates lived experiences and offers actionable tools to move forward.

You’ll learn how to:

Recognize the subtle signs of ADHD in girls often missed by parents and teachers

Navigate the assessment process and advocate for an accurate diagnosis

Apply practical, brain-based strategies to manage homework, procrastination, and time blindness

Understand rejection sensitivity (RSD), emotional intensity, and burnout cycles

Build stronger friendships and improve family communication

Create healthy habits around sleep, nutrition, and exercise

Use technology wisely and prepare for life transitions

Shift from coping to thriving by understanding the unique strengths of the female ADHD brain

It’s time to lift the mask.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or a teen girl yourself—this book will help you finally feel seen, understood, and empowered.

Book Needed by Every Parent of a Girl With ADHD

In Unmasking ADHD Girls: From Invisible Struggles to Empowered Teen, Dr. Clara Hayes writes as One Who Knows. She thoroughly describes the issues experienced by girls who suffer from ADHD, and the adverse impacts on their entire families. She coaches parents on effective strategies they can use, in turn, to coach their daughters. Dr. Hayes also acknowledges that children who have ADHD often have parents who also suffer from undiagnosed ADHD, and offers guidance for parents to explore their own needs for treatment. She provides information on self-management and task organization to increase effectiveness, reduce stress, and help set up ADHD females to be successful in their ventures. This is an audiobook I will heartily recommend to my patients and friends who have ADHD in their families.
