Research Recap with William Curb - Why ADHD Is Still Missed in Women: The Swedish Study That Proves It
Why are women still diagnosed with ADHD years later than men?
Welcome to the next episode in our Research Recaps series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.
In this episode, Skye and Will unpack one of the largest ADHD studies ever conducted, looking at more than 85,000 people in Sweden. The results show women are still being diagnosed almost four years later than men, with serious consequences for mental health and access to support.
What we cover:
- Why Swedish women are diagnosed nearly four years later than men
- How cultural stereotypes about ADHD still affect diagnosis
- The hidden cost of delayed diagnosis, including anxiety and depression
- Why masking makes ADHD harder to spot in women
- What this research means for the future of ADHD awareness and care

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
