Hi I'm Louise Hopkin

— founder of The Space Reclaimers, Professional Home Organizer, and your go-to cheerleader for clearing clutter with compassion and purpose.

While I am not naturally inclined towards organization mainly due to my late diagnosis of ADHD in my 50's I have mastered the power of learning and adaptation of getting organized.

I can help you move through any frustration, embarrassment and overwhelm to take back control over the clutter.

Through private coaching and my Fog to Flow: A Rest for Women Feeling Stretched Thin, I give you tools to succeed in creating a home that flows with your lifestyle and goals.

There's nothing I adore more than high-fiving my clients when they release the weight of clutter and create a home they love!

Diagnosed with ADHD at 50+

Diagnosed with ADHD at 40+? Here’s What Comes Next

August 28, 20253 min read


You’ve held it together for years — running a business, a family, a household. You were the one who could juggle it all.

But lately, the wheels feel like they’re coming off.
The brain fog. The overwhelm. The frustration of knowing what you
should do, but not being able to do it.

And then the diagnosis drops: ADHD. At 40+.

Relief. Confusion. Even grief. Because suddenly it all makes sense — and yet, you’re left wondering: what now?


Why ADHD in Women Is Missed Until Midlife

Here’s the frustrating truth: ADHD in women has been overlooked for decades.

  • Masking: Many of us became pros at hiding symptoms — overcompensating with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and hyperfocus on the “right” things.

  • Mislabeling: Forgetfulness, disorganization, and daydreaming were brushed off as “stress” or “personality quirks.”

  • Hormones: When perimenopause or menopause hits, those carefully built coping strategies can suddenly collapse overnight.

No wonder diagnoses in women doubled between 2020 and 2022. The system simply wasn’t looking for us before.


The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Late Diagnosis

Getting diagnosed at midlife is not just a medical moment — it’s an emotional one.

  • Relief: “Finally, I’m not crazy — there’s a reason.”

  • Grief: “What if I’d known sooner?”

  • Hope: “Maybe I don’t have to live this way anymore.”

Every reaction is valid. And you don’t need to rush into fixing everything at once. Think of this as the start of a new chapter — not a redo of the old one.


Your First Steps After an ADHD Diagnosis

So what now? A few gentle, doable moves:

  1. Learn about ADHD (beyond the stereotypes). This is executive dysfunction — not laziness.

  2. Get support. A doctor, therapist, or ADHD coach can help tailor strategies to your life.

  3. Start tiny. Forget giant overhauls. Try one new tool: a Pomodoro timer, a declutter routine, or a theme day.

  4. Give yourself grace. You’re balancing ADHD, menopause, business, and family. That’s not “too much” — that’s reality.


How Hormones Stir the ADHD Pot

Perimenopause and menopause aren’t just about hot flashes. For women with ADHD, declining estrogen levels can:

  • Disrupt memory and focus

  • Spike anxiety and mood swings

  • Make old coping strategies suddenly useless

One woman put it perfectly: “It was like a light switched off and none of my strategies worked anymore.”

Here’s the frustrating truth: there are no studies that specifically examine menopause in females with ADHD. And that is a serious medical problem. This time of life is really challenging with ADHD — and right now, there isn’t a clear path your doctor can hand you.

That doesn’t mean you’re stuck. It means we get to create a path that works for you. That’s what I help my clients do: build ADHD-friendly routines, habits, and support systems that actually fit this season of life.


Reframing ADHD as Your Midlife Strength

Yes, ADHD brings challenges. But let’s not forget the other side of the story:

✨ Creativity
✨ Adaptability
✨ Empathy
✨ Energy
✨ Problem-solving skills

And here’s the best part: your brain is still changeable. Neuroplasticity doesn’t stop at 40, 50, or 60. You can literally rewire your pathways with the right support and tools.


Moving Forward With Confidence

Here’s what I tell my clients:

  • Build routines that work with your energy (not against it).

  • Start small — one habit at a time.

  • Find community. You don’t need to do this alone.

  • Ditch the shame. This is not about fixing you; it’s about supporting you.

Your diagnosis isn’t a dead end. It’s a doorway. And the timing? Perfect.

Because you’re not too late. You’re right on time.


Final Word

If you’ve just been diagnosed with ADHD at 50+, you’re not broken, you’re not behind, and you’re definitely not alone. This is your chance to rebuild your systems, reframe your story, and reclaim your energy.

And if you’re nodding along thinking, “This is me,” — I’d love to support you. Inside my coaching and resources, I help women just like you create habits, routines, and spaces that feel calm, doable, and energizing.
