At 19 my daughter is being diagnosed with ADHD after years of misdiagnoses. She is incredibly bright but has reached a stone wall in her college education. She is relieved to finally find a name for the challenges she has faced these last two years. In my work with ABE and GED students, I am meeting many women who I believe have ADHD or ADD. The problem is the lack of centers offering low cost diagnostic testing. DSS offers little to nothing, so many are going "official" diagnoses and without treatment.
