The Mini ADHD Coach: How to (finally) Understand Yourself by Alice Gendron
4.25
I loved this little journey through life with ADHD. Alice Gendron uses a lovely mix of Madeline-esq drawings, medical facts and personal anecdotes to guide the reader. It feels a bit like the perfect coffee table book for the modern age. I can imagine leaving this out, open to an appropriate page, and then finding a guest casually flicking through it while I'm making tea.
In fact, while the book is packed with tips and tricks for managing ADHD, I actually think the main value it offers is as a guide for neurotypical people. Gendron doesn't necessarily offer anything that can't already be found with a casual google search, but the insights in the book are presented in such a sweet way that it's the perfect, gentle introduction to a fiendishly complex subject.
