Episode 80 Guest Cynthia Hammer on Helping Girls with ADHD #ADHD #GIRLS

Cynthia Hammer, MSW, founded the Inattentive ADHD Coalition (www.iadhd.org) in 2021 and FINDtheADHDgirls (www.FINDtheADHDgirl.org) in 2024. Cynthia was diagnosed with the inattentive type of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD ) in 1992 when she was 49 years old and helping others learn about their ADHD has been her mission in life ever since. She finds her work fun and engaging. What keeps her going is telling herself, “If you don’t do it, who will?” Cynthia authored the memoir and self-help book and audio book, Living with Inattentive ADHD Expertise: Soon after her diagnosis, Cynthia founded her first non-profit, ADD Resources, and served as its director for 15 years. During those years she sponsored annual conferences with nationally known ADHD experts with over 350 attending. She hosted yearly workshops for teachers with over 35 attending and earning credits. She presented at conferences herself. She has written over 10 blog posts for ADDitude, the nation’s leading source for information about ADHD, and 5 articles for CHADD’s Attention magazine, a source for practical and evidence-based information about ADHD. In 2023 her award-winning book Living with Inattentive ADHD was published, and the following year it became available as an audiobook. She continues to educate herself about ADHD.
