A woman may be shy, reserved, and careless while not realizing she has ADHD. Because this type of behavioral isn't noticeable like hyperactivy, it tends to go unnoticed.My wife is a lot like this. She deals with mood swings, memory problems, continually mis placing things, she is shy and reserved and careless. I think she has ADHD without the hyperactivity be she wont admit it. Then again, it just may be from her diet because she can sit down and read thick books with no problems. That may be another aspect of it, not able to admit the "problem".
