ways to work with professional help, identify and tackle my own barriers and, most importantly, begin to value my neurodivergent brain as contributing to my team's service. I am grateful to the authors for making it so accessible!
It is a very basic introduction to the topic and the information provided never dives much below surface level.
I did not find the workbook sections to be useful, and the sections on strategies are super basic. If you are an adult with ADHD you probably already do most of the things they suggest naturally and they only provide a brief paragraph to introduce each of them before moving on the next.
Not my favorite resource by far, but I could see myself recommending it to someone who is wondering if it's possible that they could have ADHD but has not yet decided to seek assessment.
The authors orient the book from a strength based perspective highlighting the many gifts of neurodiversity ie… creativity, ability to hyper focus, and energy while providing a system to manage symptoms and thrive. This book offers information on time management, organizational skills, stress, medication, and lifestyle interventions all while being inclusive. I was provided with an advance copy from the publisher and I look forward to recommending this workbook to clients.
The authors successfully orient the reader toward embracing ADHD as an example of neurodiversity that includes both challenges and notable strengths. Diversity in all forms - including gender, sexual orientation, race, and more - is celebrated in the many client stories. The book is inclusive to all people who identify as women and is a powerful model for LGBTQIA+ allyship.
Building upon their combined wealth of experiences as clinicians, the authors offer evidence-based and practical tools to reduce and manage ADHD symptoms and improve quality of life. Suggestions include specific time management and organizational strategies, stress management tools, medication, therapy, neurofeedback, and lifestyle interventions.
As a psychotherapist who works with the authors, I was provided with an advance copy of this workbook. I am delighted to be familiar with this book and plan to recommend it to my patients with ADHD. I believe that it will provide valuable support and resources for women living with ADHD and will help them to thrive.
I was moved by the stories about other women with ADHD in this book. I identified with many of the stories and I have so much compassion for the women who haven't yet learned how to manage their ADHD.
This book will help women who have ADHD feel understood, seen, and supported and it gives them the tools and a step-by-step system to manage their ADHD and to thrive with ADHD.
The workbook itself provides a way to review and reframe the way ADHD impacts my life and gave me a new way to think about my own symptoms and how they impact multiple aspects of my life. The authors have responded beautifully to an unfulfilled need and I would highly recommend this workbook to any woman who is impacted by ADHD.
This workbook allowed me to engage in understanding my ADHD in a way that I hadn't been able to do before. There are not a lot of workbooks out there for adult women with ADHD, and this book allowed me some insight into my neurodivergence and gave me language to talk about it. I really do have a new appreciation for my neurodivergence, and can see how some of the "faults" I experience can be leveraged for good.
Fun (and hopefully not a spoiler!) to learn that Simone Biles has ADHD. A child I know also has ADHD and Simone Bile's is her hero! She was so thrilled to learn that Simone Biles has a "racecar brain" just like she does.
Thank you to the authors for creating such a solid, insightful and captivating text. I applaud you! I assure the readers, you will not be disappointed by this purchase.
