This book is very useful and has lots of good information. I would rate it a 4 1/2 if I could.

I wasn't a huge fan of the 1st section because it's so text heavy. I really loved the 2nd section as it walks through a day in the life of someone with ADHD and the author provides suggestions on hacks she's found have worked for her. Additionally the 3rd section provides more hacks.

I do not live with ADHD however I have friends and students who do. I found the book very informative and plan to use this as a way to improve my teaching practices to assist my students. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

This lovely little compendium breaks down ADHD in a way that makes it easy to understand! It goes through the ins and out of ADHD and does it in a cute way. Many things are framed through the author's experience as a person with ADHD but honestly is relatable to most ADHD people. I enjoyed the "ADHD Hacks" section. It had a lot of helpful tricks to help manage and work around your ADHD symptoms. I think this would be the perfect book for an adult or older teen recently diagnosed with ADHD. It also would be good for neurotypical people to read to try and understand how someone with ADHD functions in day-to-day life. It's formatted in a great way, with an even balance of illustrations and written text. I love that it doesn't give you a whole wall of text to try and read through but instead breaks it up to make it easier to read. I had ADHD, so I already knew the information provided in the book, including the hacks. So I can definitely say, everything hits the mark, and it's one hundred percent true! This book does have two small sections that could be considered "adult", but this is geared more toward ADHD adults than children. The sections go over how ADHD can cause struggles with intimacy within romantic relationships, and how ADHD makes a person more likely to develop problems with alcohol consumption. These are handled in a gentle way, and are important to talk about! I am glad that the book has sections concerning those issues. ( )
