People with ADHD tend to have interest-based attention systems and have the ability to focus on multiple things at once. As a woman with ADHD, I have both! Although reading is a tedious task for me because it requires a lot of central focus for me, here is a collection of some books that I have read myself, are on my 'to read' list, and heard great reviews on. Many of these are also available as audiobooks, for those who struggle as I do!
This one is for the bookworms who can hyper-focus, to help you understand more about your ADHD and how to manage certain symptoms. Here are my Top 3 books to help you progress...
A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD
ADHD Figuring it Out Step by Step
Understanding ADHD in Girls & Women
With a workbook inside, this book is great for interacting with the information on ADHD and how you perceive your symptoms. From an inspiring and positive outlook, author Sari Solden gives an ADHD-friendly read looking at gender, discoveries, and reflecting on symptoms.

Leanne Maskell is a woman with ADHD speaking on her own experiences and outlining everything you need to know, from A-Z. Well-researched, this book gathers lots of different facts to help people understand ADHD and advice on coping mechanisms for common symptoms. This is my personal #1 with its essential practical tips and points of discussion.

A very comprehensive book, Understanding ADHD in Girls & Women is highly recommended if you're in the early stages of diagnosis or if you relate to ADHD symptoms and would like to explore further. Having a structure that flows, diagrams, and a breakdown of sections, this book is digestible with many tips and key points.
