“Personally, as a woman with ADHD, being involved with the Center has given me insight into my own experiences and has helped me better navigate the world. I have gained a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and experiences of other women with ADHD, which is empowering and validating.”
—Woman with ADHD, Patient Partner
Many women with ADHD experience obstacles in their workplace (Schreuer & Dorot, 2017). Factors such as inattentiveness, late diagnosis or treatment, or societal expectations for women, may contribute to difficulties in managing job demands (Arnold et al., 2010). Seeking out accommodations at work may help women with ADHD to reduce the impact of their symptoms on their job performance and support their success.
Jennifer Gierisch, PhD, director of engagement at the Duke Center for Girls & Women with ADHD, and Scott Hicok, former chief program officer at Camp Southern Ground, share their experiences with ADHD in the workplace.
