A closer look at ADHD for girls
It all begins with an idea.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Girls
Do girls get ADHD? The short answer is "yes," but it doesn't always look the same as in boys. For a long time, it was thought that girls didn't get ADHD. However, research has shown that not only do girls get ADHD, but it can also look different than in boys. Boys tend to show obvious hyperactivity and disruptive behaviors, while girls usually have more subtle symptoms like daydreaming, disorganization, and emotional sensitivity. Because these signs are less noticeable, girls often go undiagnosed or get diagnosed later in life, missing out on the early support they need to thrive.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
