For decades, women with ADHD have been overlooked and undiagnosed. That’s finally beginning to change. But there’s still so far to go. That’s where The ADHD Channel for Women comes in. We’re a channel made by women with ADHD, for women with ADHD. And we’re talking about the things we want to hear. Women with ADHD need (good!) information, smart takes on ADHD topics, and so much more. Hang out with Cate Osborn and guests as they discuss ADHD, relationships, and sex on Sorry, I Missed This. Get answers to ADHD questions you didn’t know you had from Dr. Monica Johnson on ADHD and…. Or join journalist Rae Jacobson on Hyperfocus for deep dives, personal stories, and real talk about neurodivergence.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T14:18:46.908508+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781"},"episode":{"title":"Why there’s no “gold standard” for adult ADHD tests","slug":"why-there-s-no-gold-standard-for-adult-adhd-tests","published_at":"2026-03-05T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781/why-there-s-no-gold-standard-for-adult-adhd-tests","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781","url":"https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/missunderstood","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/1245/afp-935247-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/1a7154d3-8c76-4ded-a925-5975fa97f65a/episodes/376eb5ad-722b-4372-b3a1-8ca125df0120/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=1a7154d3-8c76-4ded-a925-5975fa97f65a&awEpisodeId=376eb5ad-722b-4372-b3a1-8ca125df0120&feed=60WJALk_","summary":"Last fall, I heard something that floored me: The tests we have for ADHD in adults don’t work very well. As an adult with ADHD, I think about this all the time because our diagnosis is so stigmatized and so misunderstood. It’s overdiagnosed. It’s underdiagnosed. Everybody has it. Nobody has it. If only there were a silver bullet or some test that could definitively say yes or no. So, I asked the two Chicago School faculty members who got me thinking about this after their presentation at the CHADD conference last year: Jessica Rosenfeld, a clinical psychologist, and Reneh Karamians, a neurorehabilitation psychologist. They explained why adult ADHD diagnosis is so difficult, and how new scan technology holds promise for spotting ADHD in the brain.","meta_description":"Last fall, I heard something that floored me: The tests we have for ADHD in adults don’t work very well.
