Description
From social media sensations Cate Osborn and Erik Gude, with Rennie Dyball, comes a fresh and practical guide to managing ADHD for adults. Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Cate Osborn, a teaching artist with two master's degrees, started to have difficulty remembering her lines. Suddenly, things that had seemed routine before were falling through the cracks. An evaluation finally led to a diagnosis: ADHD. Erik Gude, who was diagnosed in his teens, had a slightly different path. While an ADHD diagnosis might explain the cause of some of his academic challenges, it would take years before he understood the other ways it affected other aspects of his life. When they connected as adults, it didn't take long before they realized other people might feel just as lost as they had. With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults is a witty, thoughtful, and practical guide to living with ADHD in adulthood, from two people who know what it's like. Featuring the most important foundational information about ADHD, it also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, the healthcare system, and home care. And unlike existing titles on the topic, it is intentionally structured to incorporate ADHD accessibility features by offering bite-sized pieces of knowledge in a format that caters to the unique needs of ADHD readers. From testing, evaluations, and diagnoses, to hacks for work and productivity, organization, and time management, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults is the perfect book for those who want to understand why and how their brain works the way it does from people who have been there.

"Digestible, clear and compassionate. Whether you've knowingly struggled with ADHD since childhood, realized you have it as an adult, or you know someone who's been diagnosed and you want to better support them--Osborn and Gude created a much-needed, modern guide for navigating ADHD in today's world. From practical tips to existential questions, they break down ADHD in an accessible way, and it feels like a loving, no-bullshit best friend is holding your hand on every page. I learned a ton and had a blast doing it." --Meg Josephson, New York Times bestselling author of ARE YOU MAD AT ME?
"This book has everything: from science to practical advice to romance to actual recipes. Like, for food, from a chef. At once gentle and no-nonsense, this is a truly comprehensive look at ADHD--what it means (and doesn't mean) to have it, and how to build systems to navigate a world designed for neurotypical brains. If you've been given an ADHD diagnosis, if you love someone who has, or even if you think ADHD might describe you, don't sleep on this book." --Dr. Mark Shrime, surgeon, career coach, and author of Solving for Why
