The Mini ADHD Coach: How to (finally) Understand Yourself by Alice Gendron
hopeful
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was 30. Mix that with being a woman with ADHD and there is so much to learn about myself with this diagnosis and the diagnosis itself. While it sucks that not learning much about ADHD from providers is a common experience, it is reassuring to see I'm not alone.
This was a book I definitely wish I would have had when I was first diagnosed. The way it mixes doodles with information really kept my attention. Plus, it was really well written for the neurospicy, keeping the book and facts on the shorter side. And even though most of what's in this book, I've found out for myself since my diagnosis (again, really would have loved this right after my diagnosis), the habit stacking section was something new to me.
This is definitely something I'd pick up for someone who is recently diagnosed with ADHD or for someone who is trying to understand ADHD a bit better.
