As a neurodivergent fat queer person who was born in Tassie in the '90s, it's safe to say there was a lot about this book that resonated with me. However I think this book will also be accessible to people who aren't.

I read this book after a friend recommended it to me following my diagnosis. I found this book helpful in understanding the basic mechanisms of ADHD, why I flew under the radar for so long, and a few initial tools for managing my ADHD. I can see this also being informative for loved ones and carers to gain insight into the brain of the ADHDers in their life. It's not the end-all be-all of ADHD guides, but it's a great place to start.
