ADHD Expert Diann Wingert: “Five Generations of Women Were Missed” | Letter to My Younger Self

For decades, girls with ADHD have been overlooked — often hiding in plain sight. In this interview, ADHD coach and podcast host Diann Wingert reflects on her late ADHD diagnosis and why she chose to write a letter to her younger self for the book Letters to Our Young Self. Diann shares how ADHD affected her childhood, why so many women were missed for generations, and how writing her letter helped her develop compassion for her younger self. She also talks about rejection sensitivity, self-acceptance, and why personal stories can help start powerful conversations about ADHD within families. This conversation highlights why awareness matters — not just for women discovering ADHD later in life, but for the next generation of girls who deserve to be recognized earlier. Diann’s message is simple and powerful: it’s never too late to understand yourself — and no girl should have to grow up believing she’s broken.
