Overview

Imagine jogging along (not actually jogging, yuck) for your whole life without realising that you have ADHD. Seems far-fetched, doesn't it? How can you have no idea about such an obvious thing? Very easily, actually. Turns out that feeling constantly on edge, having intricate reminder systems in place to ensure you don't miss appointments and having 437 thoughts on the go at any one time isn't how everyone lives. ADHD isn't exclusive to little boys who struggle in the classroom. In fact, many women with ADHD breezed through their schooling and have successful careers. This book is a funny, no-holds-barred exploration of adult ADHD diagnosis, jam-packed with information about diagnosis, impostor syndrome, medication, hyperfocus, parenting, being a woman with ADHD and so much more. Come along as Alana learns to lean into her neurodiversity, disassembling who she thought she was, only to reassemble as the new her - medicated and ready to step into the next part of her life with the knowledge she never knew she needed.

Author Information

It wasn't until Alana's 39th lap around the sun that something quite extraordinary happened. She was diagnosed with ADHD. After picking herself up off of the floor, she rushed straight to the internet to find a book that made her feel less alone. Faced with endless self-help books instead, she decided to write the book that she wanted to read. Her debut novel, Talks too much! was born. When Alana isn't avoiding rewashing the same load of clothes for the 87th time she enjoys hanging out in Perth, Western Australia, with her husband, two boys, two Groodles and the boss of the house - a kitten called Freckles. An avid setter of goals she will never reach and accomplished starter of projects that she never finishes, Alana is a proud advocate of ADHD, particularly ADHD in women and mothers.
