Beside the massive amount of information about how ADHD manifests in adults, I did like that the author made clear that medication is the most helpful tool.

I learned a lot about myself, or more so, that a lot is based on ADHD, and not me being lazy or stupid.

if you are (as me) somebody who was diagnosed rather late in life, listen to this. Grieve the possibilities we missed, and be amazed that there are still chances for us to succeed :)

very informative (and hurtful...err... helpful)

After being diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and Autism aged 54, this book is my Bible,

It will probably make you feel worse initially, as there are 91 symptoms to adult adhd and it explaines absolutely everything I've suffered with since my earliest childhood memories.

Im hoping that now I know why life has paned out the way it has, that I can now make the most of the last 3rd of my life, as ADHD has had an emense impact on my personal life and career.

P.S
The very best of wishes my Nerodiverse friend.

rely good content, super happy with the learnings I got here. Narration is good, very engaging. only the parts that talks about the data could be a little bit better executed, I don't know how, but it was a bit exhausting

A complete manual!

I'm middle aged and recently received a late diagnosis of ADHD -- something I kinda knew already, but thought I'd slipped through the net as a result of growing up in the 70s. Thankfully, the psychiatrist who picked up on it, told me my results were 'off the scale' and therefore fast-tracked me through the system and straight into treatment.

The book was helpful to the point of explaining the problem -- and there seriously is a problem -- but when it came to the section on working on solutions I found myself getting bored and losing focus -- and kinda giving up as I know my brain won't do any of these suggestions.

However, I wonder whether my response is typical, because I also have dyspraxia and Asperger's, which could potentially make my diagnosis a little more complex than standard ADHD.

Mostly good, but...

This is invaluable for any adult living with ADHD, diagnosed or undiagnosed. Packed full of facts, advice and guidance. Easy to follow along with as it's broken down into small chunks. Very ADHD friendly. The narrator's reading is clear and his voice fits the tone of the book very well.

An invaluable resource
