Focus on Inattentive ADHD: The Under-Diagnosed, Under-Treated Subtype

Hope @ ADDitude — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 19:24:02 +0000

Because it brings fewer behavior-management problems, Inattentive ADHD is not always recognized and diagnosed in childhood, and this under-recognition can persist into adulthood. This is particularly true for girls with ADHD, who are more likely than boys to have the inattentive subtype. Research and clinical experience show clearly, however, that difficulties with attention — even when not accompanied by impulsivity or hyperactivity — can lead to significant functional impairment and distress in higher education, the workplace, and in social interactions.

In this hour-long webinar, you will learn about:

The prevalence of predominantly inattentive ADHD in children and adults
The most common symptoms and distinctive features of inattentive ADHD
How predominantly inattentive ADHD is recognized and diagnosed
The daily-life difficulties of people with inattentive ADHD
Effective treatments for predominantly inattentive ADHD

Why ADHD Is Different for Women: Gender-Specific Symptoms & Treatments

Anni Layne Rodgers — Tue, 13 May 2025 17:06:21 +0000

ADHD in women is under-studied and often misunderstood. This diagnostic confusion leaves many women overlooked or misdiagnosed. The perfect storm of internalized symptoms, hormonal fluctuations, and societal expectations yields a distinct set of stressors. Emotional dysregulation also renders women more reactive than proactive. Trapped beneath the weight of stigma, self-doubt, and shame, they lose confidence in their judgment since it often betrays them. In this hour-long webinar replay from 12/15/20, learn why ADHD is different for women with Ellen Littman, Ph.D.

Anni Layne Rodgers — Tue, 13 May 2025 17:00:03 +0000

In this hour-long ADDitude webinar, Thomas E. Brown, Ph.D. describes his work with high-IQ students and adults who did very well in their earlier school years, but who had increasing difficulty academically and socially as they navigated middle school, high school, college, and/or employment.
