Hi 👋 ! My Name is Alice, I created The Mini ADHD Coach in August 2020 when I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 29.
After years of questioning, therapy, burnout, and chaotic career path changes, I finally understood why I struggled with so many things.
So I decided to share what I learned to raise awareness around ADHD and help the ADHD community thrive.

Are you aware that ADHD manifests in various ways and that each person's experience with the condition can differ significantly?
This is largely due to the existence of different ADHD types, each with its own set of symptoms and traits that can impact daily life in diverse ways. In this video, we're going to delve into the world of Inattentive ADHD, a lesser-known and often misunderstood type, to help you better understand its unique characteristics and challenges.

ADHD is more complex than initially believed, and recent research has shed light on this complexity. If you're struggling to reconcile your ADHD diagnosis with what the average person perceives ADHD to be, rest assured that you're not alone. We'll explore the differences between the three main types of ADHD: hyperactive-impulsive, inattentive, and combination type, which feature symptoms of both the first two types.

Inattentive ADHD is characterized primarily by symptoms of inattention, rather than hyperactivity or impulsivity. People diagnosed with this type may find it difficult to maintain focus, have trouble following detailed directions, and often struggle with organization. Some common symptoms include being easily distracted, forgetfulness, difficulty completing tasks, and a tendency to daydream.

Despite the presence of identifiable symptoms, it's crucial to remember that there's no clear-cut distinction between the different ADHD types. This means that even if you've been diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD, you may still experience moments of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Interestingly, Inattentive ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in those who identify as female than male.

In the past, Inattentive ADHD was referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) without the hyperactivity component. However, it now falls under the broader ADHD umbrella. For a diagnosis in those aged 16 or younger, at least six symptoms must be present for a minimum of six months. If aged 17 or older, at least five symptoms must be present for the same duration.

In this comprehensive video, we'll cover everything you need to know about Inattentive ADHD, including its history, symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and the challenges faced by those living with it. We'll also address common misconceptions about this ADHD type and discuss how it is often overlooked or misunderstood by society.

Through this in-depth exploration, we aim to raise awareness about Inattentive ADHD and provide valuable insights that can help those affected by it, as well as their loved ones, better understand and navigate this complex condition. So, let's embark on this journey together and uncover the truth about Inattentive ADHD. Knowledge is power, and together, we can make a difference.
