The Little Book of ADHD

The Little Book of ADHD is an inclusive and humorous guide that explores the types of ADHD, the symptoms, and myths surrounding the disorder. Illustrator Alice Gendron, who seeks to understand how her own brain works, shares tips on how to better understand herself.

Is it possible to have ADHD and be focused? Do only hyperactive people have ADHD? When illustrator Alice Gendron was diagnosed with ADHD at age 29, she had several questions like these. She then began posting humorous illustrations on Instagram that portrayed her daily life with the disorder. Gendron soon realized she wasn't alone, and today the_mini_adhd_coach account has over 600,000 followers worldwide.

With a lighthearted and humorous approach, The Little Book of ADHD offers a comprehensive and compassionate perspective on life with ADHD, addressing the challenges of those living with the disorder and providing tips to help readers seek a diagnosis and better organize their routines.

With witty illustrations and practical tips, Gendron breaks down stereotypes about the topic and also shares insights with the reader, including:

• How to identify the influence of ADHD on your routine, from difficulties managing time, preparing meals and dealing with romantic relationships;
• Learning to deal with the emotions that arise after diagnosis;
• What expressions and words like temporal “blindness,” executive dysfunction, and hyperfocus mean, thanks to its unique glossary on the subject;
• The importance of learning to work with your brain, not against it, in order to thrive with ADHD;
• Finally understand yourself and how your brain works!
