An approachable and punchy deep-dive guide to the ADHD experience.

The ADHD FAQ

Understand and Embrace Your Brain, from Diagnosis to Everyday Life

by Andrew Coltrin (Author) and Dr. Faith G. Harper (Foreword)

Millions of people have received ADHD diagnoses and the numbers continue to climb, but our culture remains full of myths, stigma, and misinformation about just what it is and how it works. Andrew Coltrin offers a personable, readable guide, with facts that go beyond the basics to bring nuanced answers and advice you can use today. You already know that using a planner, a timer, and another to-do list won't magically make you neurotypical—but what if you didn't have to work quite so hard to fit others' expectations? Packed with supportive solidarity and solid strategies for ADHD folks.
