If you’re a teen girl with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—or suspect you may be—you’ve probably experienced a number of challenges in your life, including struggling in school, difficulty making friends, feeling like you have to be perfect, negative self-talk, fear of rejection, and intense emotions. You aren’t alone. Although some people think that ADHD is “just for boys,” rest assured that there are many, many girls out there just like you. This empowering guide offers tons of tips and tools to help you overcome your struggles, focus on what makes you awesomely unique, and live your best life.
Written by a mental health professional with firsthand experience living with ADHD, this friendly workbook offers evidence-based tools to help you gain a better understanding of your neurodivergent brain, focus on your strengths, advocate for yourself, and build the self-confidence needed to reach your fullest potential. You’ll also find fun and easy activities to help you:
Being a teen girl in today’s world isn’t easy—and it’s even trickier when you have ADHD. But there are skills you can learn that will help you on the road to adulthood. With this workbook, you’ll find powerful ways to manage your symptoms, make the most of your strengths, and even educate others about ADHD, so you can get the support you need to thrive.
A Note to Parents and Clinicians: The activities and exercises in this workbook are grounded in proven-effective therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness, life coaching, self-compassion, and more. Teens will find self-assessments and tools to help them improve their executive functioning skills, deal with rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), and handle the challenges of adolescence while living with ADHD.
"Immersed in connectedness, compassion, and comedy, Catherine’s workbook constructs a home for those of us not fully encompassing the ‘young, hyperactive male with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)’ label. Her warm, informative, and nonjudgmental approach validates and brings real meaning to the experience of neurodivergence in this neurotypically facing world. Catherine, I cannot shout a loud-enough THANK YOU for creating something so many of us have so desperately needed, and not realized!"
- Jovana Radovic Wood, LMFT, clinical director and therapist at the Hallowell Todaro ADHD Center
"This book is the missing piece for most teen girls with ADHD, and clinicians working with teen girls who have ADHD. The amount of information that is oozing from this book and the way that it’s written is not only approachable, but relatable and engaging. This is the workbook I wish I had when I was first diagnosed with ADHD, but will now use with all my clients moving forward."
- Kathryn Feder, LMHC, NCC, ESA, clinical director and director of school-based services at the Hallowell Todaro ADHD Center, and adjunct professor of school counseling at Seattle University
"This workbook is a revelation: an accessible, tender, and engaging read that youth (and their loved ones!) will find instantly helpful. Too often ADHD is misunderstood and overlooked in this population, leading to unnecessary suffering. This book aims to bring it into the light with kindness and a personalized approach."
- Francesca J. Vash, APNP, FNP-BC, nurse practitioner in pediatric primary care at Group Health Cooperative of Southern Wisconsin, and parent of two children with ADHD
"Catherine writes with the knowledge of an ADHD coach, yet still comes across as the wise, older sibling providing insight, understanding, and advice to her younger sister. Teenage girls wondering, ‘Do I have ADHD and how do I manage it?’ will benefit greatly from reading and completing the exercises in this comprehensive workbook."
- Cynthia Hammer, MSW, executive director of the Inattentive ADHD Coalition, and author of Living with Inattentive ADHD
"Since teen girls love to take online quizzes, how brilliant is it that Catherine Mutti-Driscoll created the perfect learning resource for teen girls with ADHD by guiding them to answer questions about themselves?!? TheADHD Workbook for Teen Girls is right on-target. Even better, teenage girls will love it—and USE it—and that is no small feat!"
