Mini Audiobook Book: Thank you so much to Hachette books for a complimentary copy!
This book is out now.
I often tell people that I am not officially diagnosed with ADHD but anytime I read books with ADHD characters or if I read something on the good ol internet more and more I think I could be on the spectrum for it. I do not think I ever exhibited signs younger but as I got older I am noticing more and more things. So when the opportunity to get this book came, I knew I had to check it out. And yes I have spoke to my PCP regarding it.
This book is not a clinical book made my professionals but by someone's one experience. Some of the times I felt the stories from Emily's life was relevant to the book and other times I wasn't sure of the purpose.
There were small sections on hyper fixations, time blindness & emotional regulation that I felt were really relatable. Even some of the self assessment section was pretty jarring and really relatable. This paragraph is pretty much how I feel when I sit down with my laptop to work on book reviews or work on graphics: "How boring are we talking? If it's really boring, I can usually focus for a minute or two before I start opening new tabs. The weird thing is that sometimes I don't even know I'm doing it.I'll be all, "Okay. I'm going to sit down at my computer and finally knock out this story on the proper way to store bread." Then, all of a sudden, I'm on Amazon looking for a disco ball for my chicken coop or arguing with somebody's racist uncle on a Facebook comment thread.
Currently that took me 10 minutes to do because I took a detour on my phone. It just made me want to advocate for myself better and to get it confirmed just to know for myself.
I don't think I learned anything groundbreaking but if you want to learn more about adult ADHD from someone who has it while also learning about her private life then check this out!
**I do not rate NF books.**
