Our son has struggled for years with school and low self esteem before we realized (and accepted) that he has it. I relate to some, but not all, of whats said, but all of it makes me go YES - EXACTLY or gives me flashbacks to my childhood and having my ADHD misunderstood because non of us knew I had it.

If you learn to regulate your emotions through breathing or meditation, the stress of losing something can be reduced.

Given the majority of the books advice is 'be heavily reliant on someone neurotypical for everything' its not really a surprise. We have definitely spent years arguing about chores, dinner, being organised, etc and honestly seeing that it is the same for other couples is a relief.I relate to what’s being presented, I laughed, I reflected, I’ve talked non stop to everyone I know about this book. I devoured this book in a couple of hours and felt my perspective of myself and my adhd shift enormously. It will transform your self-hatred into self-acceptance, with simple tips that actually work for your brain.
