Across research labs, classrooms, clinics, and communities, women are reshaping the conversation about ADHD.

During Women’s History Month, we celebrate the progress made in understanding ADHD in women and girls, recognizing symptoms that are often missed, and pushing for fair, effective care. CHADD proudly recognizes the researchers, clinicians, educators, and advocates driving this change, many of whom have helped to build CHADD’s community and resources.

While our knowledge has advanced in remarkable ways, too many girls and women are still diagnosed late, misdiagnosed, or unsupported. We remain committed to elevating women’s voices, strengthening research, and ensuring access to compassionate, evidence-based care for every woman and girl with ADHD.
