I thought this book was great. I listened to the audiobook version. I did skip over a bit of the info on specific medications as I’ve started on one in particular so I listened for that info and then moved on. I thought the stats on specific traits/challenges for those with adhd vs the general population was eye opening. I guess I didn’t expect such huge differences and the things I struggle with I just kind of assumed lots of people struggle with adhd or not. Informing myself makes me feel more powerful and more like I can get my life under control.
