Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women’s ADHD is a nonfiction book by clinical psychologist Gilly Kahn that focuses on how ADHD often presents in girls and women in ways that are missed by standard diagnostic thinking. Rather than treating ADHD as only a problem of inattention, hyperactivity, or disorganization, the book argues that emotional dysregulation is a central but underrecognized part of the condition, especially for women. Drawing on clinical insight, personal experience, and the lived stories of other women, it explains why many women are diagnosed late or misread as anxious, overly sensitive, or difficult. The book is both educational and corrective: it challenges the simplified public understanding of ADHD and replaces it with a more nuanced account of how biology, emotions, hormones, masking, and social expectations interact. Its purpose is to validate women with ADHD while also giving them language and strategies for understanding their own experience.
