Caroline Singer, a writer and certified ADHD coach, has made it her mission to help adults with ADHD not just manage, but thrive in their personal and professional lives. Through her best-selling books, such as ADHD Organizing and Cleaning Solutions and The Adult ADHD Self-Care Handbook and Guided Journal, Caroline provides real, actionable solutions for ADHD struggles, offering a refreshing alternative to the clinical or anecdotal approaches found in other literature on the topic.
Caroline's books offer tangible, step-by-step strategies that readers can immediately apply to their lives. This unique approach has helped her build a loyal following, offering tools for productivity, executive functioning, self-care and emotional regulation, while creating a sense of community for those living with ADHD.
Practical Solutions Tailored for ADHD Adults
Caroline Singer's books offer more than just advice; they provide practical, real-world strategies that ADHD adults can begin using right away.

Caroline consciously breaks up text with bite-sized actionable content, bullet points, lists, and visually engaging elements such as funny memes and speech bubbles, making her books approachable and easy to navigate. This thoughtful design reflects her deep understanding of the ADHD experience, ensuring that the content is both accessible and engaging.
Caroline says: 'One of my main aims is to help my readers organize their lives and manage the day-to-day challenges of ADHD. I'm also passionate about helping with the emotional side of ADHD, such as shame, low self-esteem and rejection sensitivity, which is much less often discussed. I hope that they will find easy and practical tools for maintaining relationships, building self-esteem and establishing healthy self-care routines, as well as dealing with the more practical side of life. Readers often report that they feel empowered as they learn to embrace their ADHD and turn what they considered obstacles, into strengths.'
A Personal Journey Toward Empowerment
Caroline's own journey with ADHD has been one of transformation. 'After struggling with late diagnoses and challenges in relationships, I discovered how to not only manage my ADHD, but use it as a force for growth and success. Although I deliberately do not use personal anecdotes in my books, my own personal experiences inform all of my writing, and this allows me to connect authentically with my audience.'
Through her work, Caroline creates a space where the emotional and mental tolls of ADHD are validated, something that many adults with ADHD rarely experience. Her books explore sensitive topics like rejection-sensitive dysphoria, difficulties with communication and relationships, and the pressure to mask, with compassion and understanding. Caroline says: 'I want to be very honest with my readers, allowing them to feel less alone and more capable of navigating their ADHD in a world that often seems unsympathetic to their needs.'
How Caroline Singer Stands Apart in the ADHD Community
What sets Caroline apart from other voices in the ADHD space is her focus on creating immediately useful tools and strategies. Caroline's books provide readers with clear, actionable steps they can integrate into their daily routines.

Testimonials from Readers
Readers who have engaged with Caroline's books often express a deep sense of relief and connection upon reading her work. One reader wrote on Goodreads, 'I started reading it just like that before bed one night and ended up reading into the wee hours of the morning because I couldn't put it down.

B.C. mom picks up her son's ADHD medication, is given an opioid instead
A mother on Vancouver Island is warning people to double check their prescriptions after she was accidentally dispensed the powerful opioid hydromorphone instead of her son's regular ADHD medication. Comox, B.C., resident Sarah Paquin, 31, says she still shudders to think about what could have happened to her nine-year-old son had her husband not noticed the medication looked different before he gave it to him. "It was terrifying," Paquin said, standing in her front yard and playing with one of her three boys. "One simple little mistake like that could have ended horribly." WATCH | 9-year-old dispensed opioid in pharmacy mix-up: Paquin says she didn't think too much of it when she went to pick up her son Declan's medication last week and the staff member at her local Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy didn't check her ID or take out the prescription from the bag. The next day, her husband was about to give Declan his medication when he saw the pills were a different colour and shape than normal. Her husband looked at the bottle and noticed the prescription was for someone else, and that it was for hydromorphone. Right away he returned the pills to the pharmacy. "Immediately your mind goes to the worst case scenario," Paquin said. "The results could have been catastrophic and it just makes my heart sink to think about what could have happened." Hydromorphone is a powerful opioid that is two to eight times stronger than morphine and is often used to treat acute pain or chronic cancer pain. According to the Mayo Clinic, it can cause serious unwanted effects or fatal overdose in children. Human error CBC News reached out to Loblaws, the company that owns Shoppers Drug Mart. In a written statement, the company said the incident was a case of "human error" that never should have happened. "We have controls in place to minimize risks like this — where the patient was handed the wrong prescription bag — and the associate will review these with employees to avoid a similar situation in the future," the company said. Paquin says she has since heard from the pharmacist, who was very apologetic. She says he acknowledged that steps were missed and standards were dropped, and told her the employee who dispensed the medication has been suspended pending an internal investigation. Asking for accountability Despite his reassurances, Paquin has filed a complaint with the College of Pharmacists of B.C. "The pharmacy needs to take responsibility, be held accountable for what happened," she said. In an email, the college told CBC News it takes these types of errors very seriously. "We have legal requirements in the Health Professions Act bylaws in place to prevent these occurrences, including mandatory standards for prescription preparation to ensure accuracy of the prescription product and consultations for all prescriptions, to make sure clients understand their medication, how to take it properly, and address any questions," the college said. As part of pharmacists' consultation with clients, they are required to confirm the person's identity, name and the strength and purpose of the drug, it added. In 2023-24, the college says it received a total of 990 concerns through its intake process. Of those, 54 became formal complaints and investigations, 16 of which were medication related. Paquin decided to share her ordeal on social media, to warn others to check their prescription before taking it. "It's scary that it happened to us, but I'm also in a way kind of thankful that it happened to us and we caught it because it could have been given to somebody who didn't notice and got hurt," she said.

Late ADHD Diagnoses In Women Are Shaping A New Leadership Model
For many high-achieving women, leadership has meant working twice as hard to prove they belong in the room. But for a growing number, there's another layer to the story, and it was hidden in plain sight for years. Women are being diagnosed with ADHD not in childhood but in midlife, after decades of navigating leadership roles with an invisible challenge. Between 2020 and 2022, the incidence of ADHD diagnoses among women aged 23–29 and 30–49 nearly doubled. This trend highlights the growing awareness that ADHD often presents differently in women and is frequently diagnosed later in life compared to men, as reported by Epic Research. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder has long been seen as a childhood condition, typically associated with hyperactive boys disrupting classrooms. But women—especially those in leadership—often don't fit the mold. They may present as driven, organized and articulate. Behind the scenes, though, many are masking executive dysfunction, working long hours to compensate for distractibility and feeling constant internal overwhelm. 'Women with ADHD tend to display more difficulties with attention compared to men,' states Anne Castley Burdzy, PhD., founder of BeWell Psychology. 'Women in leadership roles might find themselves task-switching more frequently or maybe more easily distracted compared to their male counterparts.' Women are significantly more likely to be diagnosed later in life during career transitions or hormonal changes. For female leaders, that late diagnosis sparks both relief and regret. Once diagnosed, many women experience a seismic shift—not in capability, but in self-compassion. Rather than framing their struggles as personal failings, they begin to reframe them as neurological differences. That lens allows for greater empathy toward themselves and, in many cases, their teams. It also transforms how they lead. 'You are not broken, lazy or unqualified; your brain just works differently, and that's not a flaw, it's a feature,' Summer Jelinek, a keynote speaker and leadership trainer, advises emerging leaders. 'Build systems that work for your brain, not against it.' Jelinek discovered her ADHD during her Ph.D. program, adding to her earlier autism diagnosis. This dual realization, known as AuDHD, provided clarity on her past corporate experiences and leadership challenges. 'That internal tug-of-war confused me and definitely confused my leaders,' she explains. 'I spent a massive amount of energy trying to hide both, constantly managing how I showed up so I didn't seem too intense, too much or too sensitive.' Post-diagnosis, Jelinek wears her neurodivergence on her sleeve, creating a safe space for others; she leads from a place of authenticity rather than performance. She emphasizes the importance of building systems that align with one's unique cognitive patterns. For Pubali Sen, head of ChomChomTech and serving as AI/ML Solutions at Google, the realization of her ADHD at age 31 was a transformative moment. 'My 'aha!' moment was less of a gentle dawn and more of a full-blown fireworks display,' she recounts. This diagnosis provided clarity on her past behaviors and led her to develop structured systems to manage her responsibilities effectively. Sen describes her ADHD as a catalyst for innovation. 'My ADHD brain is like having a super-fast internet connection with about 50 tabs open simultaneously,' she explains. Embracing her neurodivergence, she advocates for inclusive leadership that values diverse cognitive styles. At ChomChomTech, Sen channels her experiences into creating AI-powered tools that support the emotional regulation and imaginative skills of neurodivergent children. Her leadership exemplifies how understanding and embracing one's cognitive profile leads to more effective and empathetic leadership. Sandra Bean, founder of St. Pete Girl Boss, was diagnosed at 40, which led to a transformation in her leadership approach from self-criticism to self-compassion. 'I realized it wasn't that I wasn't trying hard enough,' she reflects. 'I needed extra support.' From this insight, she implements supportive systems such as time blocking. Bean's ADHD has enhanced her networking and negotiation skills. However, she acknowledges challenges such as rejection sensitivity and time blindness, which she addresses through strategies like body doubling. She has another person present while working on a task, either in person or virtually, to stay focused and motivated. This person doesn't actively help with the task itself; they are there to act as an accountability partner. Bean advocates for leadership that values cognitive flexibility. 'We don't do things the 'normal' way; we do them the necessary way,' she asserts, emphasizing the importance of creating spaces where diverse minds can thrive. Leadership doesn't require perfect focus or linear thinking. By embracing ADHD as a strength, these women are creating new models for what effective, empathetic leadership can look like. The future of leadership is not quieter or neater. It is more human and raw. Key characteristics of this emerging ADHD-informed leadership model include: Neuro-inclusive workplaces are the future of organizations; it's about redesigning meetings to reduce cognitive overload and offering more flexible workflows while being transparent about how neurodivergent leaders' brains function. The more these leaders share their stories, the more they're paving the way for others, especially younger employees who may be struggling silently. The diagnosis isn't a weakness. For many, it's a key to unlocking their full leadership potential. 'Specific accommodations for women with ADHD include providing clear expectations, allowing ample time for tasks with effective prompts and breaking larger tasks into smaller, manageable parts,' Dr. Castley Burdzy concludes. 'Creating a workplace environment that is healthy and supportive gives leaders a space to advocate and implement strategies that they find helpful.'

Increased Toxicity Risk Identified For Children With ADHD, Autism
The number of people being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has risen sharply in recent decades, and research continues to look at factors involved in these conditions. A study published in 2023 revealed there's a difference in how children with autism or ADHD clear the common plastic compound bisphenol A (BPA), compared to neurotypical children. BPA is used in a lot of plastics and plastic production processes, and can also be found inside food and drink cans. However, previous research has also linked it to health issues involving hormone disruption, including breast cancer and infertility. Researchers from Rowan University and Rutgers University in the US looked at three groups of children: 66 with autism, 46 with ADHD, and 37 neurotypical kids. In particular, they analyzed the process of glucuronidation, a chemical process the body uses to clear out toxins within the blood through urine. They found that kids with ASD and ADHD couldn't clear out BPA and another similar compound called diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) with as much efficiency as other kids, potentially leading to longer exposure to their toxic effects. "Detoxification of these two plasticizers is compromised in children with ASD and ADHD," wrote the researchers in their published paper. "Consequently, their tissues are more exposed to these two plasticizers." It was only in the case of BPA that the difference was statistically significant though: the efficiency was reduced by about 11 percent for kids with ASD and 17 percent for kids with ADHD, compared with the control group of children. The researchers think that gene mutations in certain individuals mean that BPA can't be cleared as well as it needs to be, which means the substance sticks around in the body. That potentially could cause damage in terms of neuron development and operation. Conditions like ASD and ADHD are thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental influences, and this new study brings together both of them. However, it's only part of the story – not every child with a neurodevelopmental disorder had problems flushing out BPA, so there are other factors at play, too. Work is continuing to identify how exactly ASD and ADHD develop in people – whether it's in utero before birth for example, or later on in life – as the data isn't enough to show whether BPA exposure causes either disorder. "There is an extensive body of epidemiological evidence for a relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders and environmental pollutants such as plasticizers," the researchers wrote. "How important plasticizer originated neurodevelopmental disorder is in the overall occurrence of these disorders is not known, but it must account for a significant proportion or would not have been so easy to detect in a metabolic study of moderate size such as this study." The research was published in PLOS ONE. A version of this article was first published in October 2023.
