Yeah, up until last August I thought ADHD was just about overactive boys, but then I discovered that it also includes 70-year-old women who have spent their lives running in all directions and usually arriving late or at an unplanned destination. Like me. 🙄 Now I am seeing more of us in books as well as IRL. Looks like I need to meet Agatha Raisin!
