Coaching for Women Diagnosed with ADHD or Autism in Adulthood
Maybe the diagnosis came at 35, 47, or 60. Maybe it came after your child's evaluation, or after one burnout too many. However you got here, you're likely holding two feelings at once: relief, because so much finally makes sense, and grief, for the years you spent working twice as hard to look effortless.
Women are diagnosed with ADHD an average of five years later than men. Not because the traits show up later, but because girls learn early to mask, compensate, and push through. By the time of diagnosis, many women are carrying burnout, anxiety, and a quiet certainty that they're "getting away with something" at work.
A diagnosis is a starting point, not an answer. Coaching is where you decide what to do with it.
Late-Diagnosed Women
Together we work on:
Replacing white-knuckle systems with ones built for your brain; planning, prioritizing, follow-through. Unmasking strategically: deciding where it's safe and worth it. Recovering from burnout without abandoning your ambitions. Rewriting the story, from "so capable, but…" to a career on your terms. Navigating disclosure and accommodations, if and when you choose.
You don't need to have it figured out before we talk.
Most of my clients arrive mid-question. That's exactly the right time to book a free discovery call.
A "Does this sound familiar?" recognition list
You've been called "so capable" and "not living up to your potential" in the same review
You're exhausted from holding it all together in ways no one sees
Your house, inbox, or calendar tells a different story than your reputation
You've quietly wondered if everyone finds this as hard as you do
The diagnosis made you cry, partly from relief, partly for the years before it
