This write up in @thewalrus that my agent sent me is lovely and captures everything I was hoping the book would convey. Thank you carine_ab for the beautiful words, and thank you @lusselman for sending!
So grateful to my friends, family, Canadian publisher and fellow nowhere girls who came out to my book launch on Tuesday! My lovely friend @yellowmanteau interviewed me and I couldn’t have asked of a kinder, smarter funnier person to do it. Thank you for being there. Thank you @randomhouseca for organizing the whole event and @typebooksjunction for hosting us! After three years, it was so fun to be able to celebrate the book with everyone—it might’ve been the first time I’ve had fun in that long (kidding but not kidding). Thanks everyone! Love you! 💖🙏🏼🧿✨✨✨
Also the last slide is my face when the conversation turned to drugs with my parents in the audience 😇
✨ Why are so many women only now being diagnosed with ADHD? ✨
In NOWHERE GIRL: Life as a Member of ADHD’s Lost Generation, @cciccone weaves personal story with scientific research to shed light on an entire generation of girls medical science ignored. Diagnosed at 39, she reframes years of confusion into clarity, humor, and radical self-forgiveness.
This one is for:
📚 The women who were overlooked.
🌟 Those reclaiming their own narratives.
💥 Anyone looking to understand ADHD more fully.

ADHD isn’t rarer in girls, it’s just been missed.
For decades, research focused almost entirely on boys — but experts say ADHD is just as prevalent with girls, leaving many undiagnosed and misunderstood.
On a recent (MIS)Treated, @namshine sat down with @cciccone to discuss the "female protective effect," the BGALS study, her childhood, and why she wrote "Nowhere Girl: Life as a Member of ADHD's Lost Generation."

I loved speaking with the wonderful @mattearoach for Bookends last month. We talked about late diagnosed neurodivergence and all that comes with it. The whole team was so kind and welcoming. 10/10 experience! You can listen to our conversation wherever you listen to podcasts, or at the links in my bio. 💁🏻♀️💖📚 #nowheregirl
"You might not develop ADHD for a long time or might not show the symptoms of it and maybe it will take you until you become a mother." On today's episode of (MIS)Treated, @namshine speaks to writer @cciccone , one of the many women diagnosed with ADHD during the pandemic.
We talk to her about the “female protective effect”, the challenges she felt in school as a young child, and why she wrote the book “Nowhere Girl: Life as a Member of ADHD's Lost Generation.”

“…a child with ADHD receives 20,000 or more corrective or negative messages by age ten…”
But it wasn’t until the 1990s that science began studying how ADHD presented in girls. The symptoms of ADHD were first described in 1798.
Since the pandemic more women are being diagnosed with ADHD. On the next episode of (MIS)Treated, @namshine speaks with @cciccone about her new book “Nowhere Girl: Life as a Member of ADHD's Lost Generation,” and how being diagnosed with ADHD at age 39 changed her life.
