By Annisa Loadwick
I'm a woman who spent over forty years thinking differently without ever knowing that's what was happening. Then I found out why: ADHD. Not hyperactive, not disruptive, not the version everyone thinks they'd recognise. Just a different wiring I didn't know I had.
Looking back, the signs were there by thirteen. Finding out wasn't a hard moment — it was the most clarifying one of my life.
Windy Minds is a short, honest guide for parents of girls, written by someone who lived it, not studied it. It walks through what ADHD actually looks like in girls: daydreaming mistaken for laziness, criticism that lands like a blow, friendships that end without warning, the "good student" mask that finally cracks.
This book exists to help neurodivergent girls thrive — by recognising and naming what's happening.

"Windy Minds isn't just a book. It's a guide, a conversation starter, and a reminder to girls and women with ADHD that they're not broken, they're not alone, and their windy minds might just be one of their greatest strengths."
