Review Corner: How To ADHD by Jessica McCabe
The first step on the ADHD diagnosis journey after the initial lightbulb moment of ‘hey, that’s me!’ is usually a deep dive down a rabbit hole of ADHD in whatever medium floats your boat: books, YouTube videos, documentaries, podcasts. If you are self-diagnosed or recently diagnosed with ADHD and on your way down the rabbit hole, I’m sharing my recommendations for books designed to help you understand your brain and welcome you into the neurodiverse community.
How To ADHD by Jessica McCabe
I started reading How To ADHD the same evening I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was feeling a little lost, mostly relief, but also a lot of grief and some confusion. I had the answer I’d been looking for, but what now?
From the dedication, Jessica’s upbeat and welcoming writing style made me feel at home. The blend of scientific explanations, studies and personal anecdotes, as well as multiple community anecdotes with practical, tried and tested tips, made me feel less alone and so much more positive. Instead of deficits, How To ADHD is for adults learning that their brains simply work differently.
