辛西亞‧漢默女士, MSW,於 1992 年、49 歲時被診斷患有注意力不足型 ADHD。診斷後幾年,她創立了第一個非牟利機構 ADD Resources,並經營了 15 年,直到退休。其後,她接受教練培訓,並在兩年後、67 歲時再次退休。

在新冠疫情期間,為了嘗試一些新鮮又有挑戰性的事,她決定撰寫一本關於自己 ADHD 人生的回憶錄/自助書。在為書籍進行研究時,她了解到患有注意力不足型 ADHD 的兒童經常未被診斷,而成年人則常常被誤診。她的著作 《Living with Inattentive ADHD》 於 2023 年 8 月 29 日出版,並獲得多位 ADHD 權威專家的高度評價,包括 Drs. Dodson、Hallowell、Jain、Faraone 和 Nadeau。

當她意識到注意力不足型 ADHD 仍然被低估診斷或誤診時,她受到啟發,於 2021 年 3 月創立了新的非牟利組織 —— Inattentive ADHD Coalition(網址:www.iadhd.org)。在過去的一年裡,她又注意到患有
ADHD 的女孩比男孩更不容易被診斷,因此啟動了一個新項目 FINDtheADHDgirls.org,作為 Inattentive ADHD Coalition 的一部分。該網站(www.FINDtheADHDgirls.org)提供用於識別可能患有
ADHD 女孩的檢核清單、大量免費資源和文章,以及每月電子通訊。

Cynthia Hammer, MSW, was diagnosed in 1992 at age 49 with the inattentive type of ADHD. A few years after her diagnosis, she started her first nonprofit organization, ADD Resources, which she ran for 15 years before retiring. She then trained as a coach, and after two years, at age 67, she retired again.

During Covid, as something new and exciting to do, she decided to write a memoir/self-help book about her life with ADHD. In researching ADHD for her book, she learned that children with inattentive ADHD are underdiagnosed, while adults with inattentive ADHD are often misdiagnosed. Her book, Living with Inattentive ADHD, was released on August 29, 2023, and has received outstanding reviews from noted ADHD authorities, including Drs. Dodson, Hallowell, Jain, Faraone, and Nadeau.

When she realized the Inattentive type of ADHD was still under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed, she was inspired to start a new nonprofit in March 2021, the Inattentive ADHD Coalition, at www.iadhd.org. Then this past year, realizing that girls with ADHD are much less likely to be diagnosed than boys, she started a project to FINDtheADHDgirls.org as a project of the Inattentive ADHD Coalition. The website is www.FINDtheADHDgirls.org and provides a checklist to identify young girls with likely ADHD, numerous free handouts and articles, and a monthly newsletter.
