How ADHD Showed Up in Childhood—but Nobody Noticed | Diann Wingert Interview

FINDtheADHDgirls Podcast

What happens when a brilliant, driven girl grows up without knowing she has ADHD? Diann Wingert knows firsthand.

In this unforgettable episode, Cynthia from FINDtheADHDgirls talks with Diann Wingert—former psychotherapist, ADHD coach, and host of the ADHD-ish podcast—about her late diagnosis, decades of masking, and how she finally turned ADHD into her unfair advantage.

• Together, they unpack:
• Why so many gifted girls go unnoticed
• The emotional cost of "passing for normal"
• How ADHD subtypes shape life experiences
• What it means to treat boredom like a crisis
• Why therapy isn’t always enough without the right diagnosis
• Radical self-acceptance and owning your neurodivergence

If you’ve ever felt different and didn’t know why, this episode will hit home. And if you’re raising or working with ADHD girls, it’s essential listening.
