Springboard Founder Dr. Ainslie Gray Shares Insights in Canadian Living Magazine, September 2025 Issue
ADHD in Women
If you’re a woman navigating life with ADHD, you might notice it looks different from the typical signs others expect. Many women find their symptoms less obvious — sometimes managed with coping strategies — but this can still lead to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or exhaustion.
Key Signs to Watch For
Dr. Ainslie Gray, our founder, was recently featured in Canadian Living magazine’s article by Karen Robock, “The Truth About Women and ADHD.” She shares key signs you might notice, such as frequently feeling anxious or being highly successful while still feeling overwhelmed or challenged. The article also highlights other signs like difficulty managing emotions, impulse spending, and losing track of time — often called time blindness.
Hormones Can Affect Symptoms
You might also find that hormonal changes — like those during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause — can make focusing and managing emotions even harder. This is common and important to understand.
