#145 The real reasons for the surge in midlife women getting ADHD diagnoses

It seems like everywhere you look there’s another middle-aged woman declaring she has ADHD, right? Or at least that’s what some people will have you believe.

There’s been an increase in women being diagnosed, or realising for themselves, that they have ADHD for sure. Let’s remember that neurodivergence isn’t something you suddenly, randomly develop as an adult. Nor is it something you’ll automatically grow out of as you grow up.

There are several reasons for why more women are discovering their neurodiversity later in life which I explore in this episode and, spoiler, it’s not because it’s fashionable or everyone’s jumping on a bandwagon.
