It's Not A Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult | Kat Brown
1 post | 1 read
BIONIC TEXT FORMAT ALSO AVAILABLE 'A sledgehammer of a book putting to bed all the cynicism and misinformation around a condition that affects so many hidden, brilliant people' Professor Tanya Byron 'Laugh out loud funny and deeply validating - every person who thinks ADHD isn't real should read this book' Leanne Maskell, author of ADHD: An A to Z Nobody should spend their life feeling defective. Everyone deserves to have a user manual to their brain - welcome to yours. Once associated more with hyper boys than adults, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is now recognised as a condition in need of a rebrand which affects people of all genders and ages in a multitude of ways. In this enlightening and definitive layman's guide, Kat Brown cheerfully smashes the stereotypes with scientific evidence, historical context, and practical support for ADHD minds across areas that can cause problems, from finances and work to self-medicating, relationships, hormones and self-esteem. Based on Kat's personal experience and extensive interviews with ADHDers and world-leading clinical experts, It's Not A Bloody Trend is for anyone wondering if what's always been 'wrong' with them might just be undiagnosed ADHD.

It's Not A Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult | Kat Brown

This is an accessible book that shares other experiences with ADHD, not just the authors. Each section also has information from two professionals. These aren't just ADHD professionals which I find really interesting.

One thing I really liked was the encouragement to outsource mental load. Nearly every section had recommendations for apps or services to use to help.

PuddleJumper I've always had a bit of shame around needing that help so it was nice to have that encouragement and recognition that having help is fine.

It also included discussions on economic barriers which I appreciated. A lot of books gloss over the fact that people might not be able to afford medication or therapy or a gym membership. 4d
PuddleJumper I would recommend that everyone reads the section on hormones. It really highlights the lack of knowledge and research into this area. 4d
willaful My Audhd daughter admitted to us this week that she'd gotten really behind in her homework and needed some support, and she was so ashamed! But I think she's feeling better now and we discussed getting her a homework aide which would feel more independent than relying on her parents. 4d
PuddleJumper @willaful I find it so difficult to ask for help. I think I should be able to do it. So when I get behind on stuff it just builds and builds until I melt down and usually something bad happens like I miss a deadline. I'm getting better at asking for help or using apps etc but it's such an energy investment to set stuff up. It constantly feels like your brain sabotages you before you even start 4d
willaful @PuddleJumper Yup. Very familiar, :-( 4d
