Steph and I are more than ready to talk about ADHD for moms with a professional. Welcome Leah Barnes, licensed clinical mental health counselor with a specialty in ADHD for adults. We ask her EVERYTHING about ADHD in women and ADHD in motherhood. Here's what we cover:
- The phenomenon of moms realizing they have ADHD after getting their kids diagnosed (which actually happened to Leah)
- You don’t know what to look for “until you know what you’re looking for”
- Nobody is going to advocate for you which is why it’s so important to know what you’re looking for
- Why is it more likely for girls with ADHD to still be good at school?
- How does ADHD present differently in girls and women?
- In order to be functional, we have to get to an emergency level
- Why ADHD is amplified in motherhood (the answer is fascinating)
- Our executive functioning administrative assistant - breaking down the tasks that we have to do as a mom
- Why many household tasks for ADHD moms are “not sticky”
- “Care tasks are morally neutral.” Or are they?
