Why you can trust this
I'm Laura. At 44 I had a full hysterectomy, was sent home with HRT patches and no warning about what was coming. For two years I thought I was losing my mind — forgetting words mid-sentence, leaving the oven on, rereading the same email ten times, crying in the car over nothing.
Everyone said menopause. It wasn't only menopause. It was ADHD I'd masked my whole life — and menopause had quietly stripped away everything that let me hide it. The day I finally understood, everything made sense. I built all of this because nobody handed me anything when I needed it most.
Did you score high?
You’ve waited long enough to wonder. Don’t lose the appointment because your mind went blank.
Trying to explain a lifetime of struggles in one short appointment can feel impossible — you freeze, you play it down, and you leave wishing you’d said what you meant.
The Pack helps you gather your real-life examples, put them into words and clearly ask about an adult ADHD assessment — so you go in prepared instead of panicked.
- One simple page to organise your experiences
- A personalised letter to take with you
- Opening words for when you don’t know where to start
- Calm wording to use if you feel unheard
- Guidance matched to your country
Created from the recurring advice women in the same position say helped them feel more prepared — not from a clinician.
A quick look inside
Three pages to help you say what you came to say.
No huge workbook. No trying to remember everything at once.
Organise what you have experienced, create a personalised letter and take opening words with you for the moment your mind goes blank.
Type into the pack on your computer—or print it and write by hand.
First — choose your country
Each edition is written for your country’s health system, so the wording fits how you’ll speak to your own GP. Pick where you’ll see your doctor.

The screening test and this pack cannot diagnose ADHD or guarantee a referral. They are designed to help you prepare for the conversation.

Inside each one: why it happens in plain English · the tools that actually help · printable worksheets · a clear next step. Yours to keep and print.

You're not the only one
“I recently bought your guide… it made me think I might have ADHD, and today I was diagnosed. I wouldn't have been diagnosed without your test — and I now have so many coping mechanisms because of that product. Couldn't recommend enough.”
“I followed Laura's steps and I'm now diagnosed and medicated. I can't believe I had ADHD all along.”
And every kit comes with a 14-day refund — if it doesn't help, you email me and I return your money, no questions. The only risk is staying stuck.
