description: 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, jampacked 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.
