There are three types of ADHD, impulsive/hyperactive, inattentive, or a combination of both. In women and girls it commonly presents more as inattentive, meaning they're more likely to be disorganised, forgetful, feel 'scattered' and become easily distracted, than hyperactive.
Something Snez says she can relate to.
"Eve having ADHD does make things a lot more difficult when it comes to parenting. All these simple things like looking people in the eye and punctuality are harder for them to do and to keep consistent. And organisation, which makes things very hard," Snez revealed.
