Review

A (self) love letter to those whose brains are beautifully and uniquely different. Speaking from lived experience, Rox and Rich manage to shift the paradigm associated with ADHD, which up until now has been riddled with lies and misinformation. This book reminds readers that rather than having a disorder, they are simply differently ordered and when managed with kindness, it can become their superpower! -- Riyadh Khalaf , broadcaster, Youtuber and winner of Celebrity MasterChef 2020
My whole life i've beaten myself up, comparing myself to my peers & wondering why i can't handle life like them. but actually, ADHD has made me incredibly special, ambition, determined & capable of the most amazing things that others aren't & for that, i think neurodiversity is a beautiful thing. -- Becky Hill
Pre ADHD diagnosis I read so many self development books. I used to try to implement what I learned and would feel like a failure, feel frustrated and blame myself for being lazy when I couldn't get those strategies to work for me. Books like this are so important for people with ADHD to break free from holding our selves to Neurotypical standards. -- Rach Idowu, 'Adulting with ADHD' Neurodivergency advocate
