This is a good article on women and ADD but in the best 3 I would have preferred an article on ADULT ADD not just limiting this to women. This article does do a good job however of discussing the underdiagnosing of girls/women with ADD and explains why this is happening.
Did you know that women are just as likely to have ADHD as men are? According to this article, they are, but they're also less likely to be correctly diagnosed. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm not a woman, but if I were I think I'd find this article even more helpful, and hopeful, than I already do.
