Allow Me to Interrupt

A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women's ADHD

By: Gilly Kahn PhD

Narrated by: Kimberly Austin

For many women, the lack of knowledge surrounding ADHD's unique presentation in their lives has led to feeling misunderstood, criticized, frustrated, and alone. Female biology is complicated, and the mainstream understanding of ADHD often simplifies a condition that isn't simple.

One thing we are quickly learning about ADHD in women is that the role of emotions and emotion dysregulation have been underemphasized in the ADHD criteria. Think about it: If it's hard to control our behavior, it will, by default, be hard to control our emotional responses. And this relationship is amplified for girls, who are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than boys.

Allow Me to Interrupt takes a deep dive into the most unjustifiably underrecognized ADHD symptom: emotion dysregulation. In an effort to educate, inspire, and support other women with ADHD, clinical psychologist and writer, Dr. Gilly Kahn, shares other women's and girls' ADHD stories along with her own.

As women with ADHD, we are misunderstood, underappreciated, and unidentified. But it isn't too late to interrupt the status quo, correct misperceptions, and describe the very real emotional lives of girls and women with ADHD.

AI narrative voice distracts

the story and information is great and informative. However, the narrator sounds like AI/someone filled the words in on google and had it translate the sentence out loud. I would have preferred a human/non-computerized voice for the narration. Especially with ADHD, it was a huge distraction throughout the book. If I would’ve know, I probably would have just read it versus waste my credit on the audiobook version
