I found this book incredibly helpful and informative. It goes through syndromes, medications, helpful lifestyle changes to do, life stories and most importantly it motivates you to get appointment with a specialist if you are hesitant as the author emphasizes how ADHD is in comparison with other behaviour/anxiety/personality disorders much more treatable.

Recommended for newcomer to the subject

I don’t have ADHD, however listened to grasp a better understanding of it. I understand how helpful medication can be and how it’s possible to design and set up structures to help a person with ADHD.

After being diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and Autism aged 54, this book is my Bible,

It will probably make you feel worse initially, as there are 91 symptoms to adult adhd and it explaines absolutely everything I've suffered with since my earliest childhood memories.

Im hoping that now I know why life has paned out the way it has, that I can now make the most of the last 3rd of my life, as ADHD has had an emense impact on my personal life and career.

P.S
The very best of wishes my Nerodiverse friend.

This is the gold standard on ADHD literature and recommended for everyone dealing with ADHD, be it themselves or by proxy. That said the book is much more like an encyclopedia and can be a lot to get through. In general you can hunt and peck for the things you need as there’s quite some repetition in each chapter.

The entirety of “Step 1” deals with getting evaluated if you haven’t. “Step 2” is essential as it dives into what ADHD is. Chapter 9 on the executive functions is lengthy but thoroughly explains where ADHD problems come from. “Step 3” is all about medications and goes into detail about them. “Step 4” is all about little ADHD lifehacks that can help, and “Step 5” is like “Step 4” but zooms into different contexts such as education and relationships.

Just hunt and peck as you see fit. I have ADHD and I went through the book front to back, but it wasn’t easy. ADHD 2.0 by Edward Hallowell is a bit more ADHD friendly but also isn’t as accurate and thorough as this book is.

Also there’s an error somewhere in chapter 27 (I think) where there’s some audio that wasn’t cut out, saying something like “Alright, so this should go after the following.”

Great book even though it’s tough to get through

Very helpful book. I've listened to it once but will have to listen to it many times to get the most out of it. From someone who has terrible ADD, thank you Russell.

Great

I'm middle aged and recently received a late diagnosis of ADHD -- something I kinda knew already, but thought I'd slipped through the net as a result of growing up in the 70s. Thankfully, the psychiatrist who picked up on it, told me my results were 'off the scale' and therefore fast-tracked me through the system and straight into treatment.

The book was helpful to the point of explaining the problem -- and there seriously is a problem -- but when it came to the section on working on solutions I found myself getting bored and losing focus -- and kinda giving up as I know my brain won't do any of these suggestions.

However, I wonder whether my response is typical, because I also have dyspraxia and Asperger's, which could potentially make my diagnosis a little more complex than standard ADHD.

Mostly good, but...
