Adults with ADHD - Education Group

Date & Time: October 30, 2025 – 5:00 PM ET

Guest Speaker: Cynthia Hammer, MSW, Founder of FINDtheADHDgirls.org

While boys with ADHD often attract attention through hyperactive or disruptive behavior, many girls with ADHD fly under the radar — quiet, well-behaved, and often struggling silently. This session with Cynthia Hammer will explore how and why these girls are frequently overlooked, and what can be done to change that.

Cynthia will introduce FINDtheADHDgirls.org, a new online repository she developed to help professionals, educators, and parents identify and support these girls more effectively. Together, we’ll discuss the long-term effects of missed diagnoses and the ways we can better support women who were once those “invisible girls.”

### Key Discussion Points

• Why girls with ADHD are often underdiagnosed — and the role social expectations play.
• Common signs of ADHD in quiet or non-disruptive girls that often go unnoticed.
• The emotional toll of being misunderstood or unsupported in school years.
• How FINDtheADHDgirls.org helps educators, clinicians, and families recognize and assist these girls.
• The connection between missed childhood diagnoses and adult ADHD struggles.
• Practical steps adults can take to advocate for themselves and others.

Whether you’re a professional, parent, or adult with ADHD, this session is for you. Come, connect, learn, and share your experiences.
