The ADHD FAQ

Millions of people have received ADHD diagnoses and the numbers continue to climb, but our culture remains full of myths, stigma, and misinformation about just what it is and how it works. Andrew Coltrin offers a personable, readable guide, with facts that go beyond the basics to bring nuanced answers and advice you can use today. You already know that using a planner, a timer, and another to-do list won''t magically make you neurotypical-but what if you didn''t have to work quite so hard to fit others'' expectations? This book is packed with supportive solidarity and solid strategies for ADHD folks, plus nuanced answers and new perspectives for parents, teachers, employers, friends, or partners. Coltrin''s writing is interspersed with comics, offering insightful (and funny) answers to questions about meds, diagnoses, overlaps with other neurodivergent conditions, and what are all these acronyms on social media anyway? The goal of it all isn''t to fix your brain, it''s to learn to work with it. By better understanding ADHD as one thread of the human tapestry, we can better understand each other and ourselves.
