The ADHD Advantage: What You Thought Was a Diagnosis May Be Your Greatest Strength by Dale Archer MD
1.75
**edit: i read this book as professional development as a student support officer for highly disengaged students, and as a person in the process of getting an adhd diagnosis in australia
single dimensioned advice that could have been found with a single google search. weirdly anti-medication and critical of the schooling system without addressing major issues. definitely a “it’s not a disability!!” book by ignoring the bad. extremely repetitive with no new points being made, lack of cohesion, and very representative of the “bingo brain”. lacks depth and academic rigour - which i suppose is expected when the full qualifications of author are not given but the “md” title is flaunted
misses a lot of the structural issues that severely affect experiences of having adhd: underdiagnosis and lack of access for many marginalised groups, wholly us-centered and not reflective of global adhders, completely missing educational inequality and lack of opportunity it underprivileged communities, and very white… this book is good if you’re a 40 year old man with a 6 figure salary in the us, not so much if you’re a 23 year old woman living paycheck to paycheck in australia (and thats STILL extremely privileged). nothing novel in here at all, just a lot of case studies and no impartial or academic research to back them up. also, just straight up ignores half of the literature on adhd???? wack
