The ADHD Field Guide for Adults

“An incredible deep-dive into ADHD. This book is warm, compassionate, full of relatable insights, practical strategies and, most important … it takes us one huge step further along the path towards removing the stigma and shame from ADHD, with a message of hope for all those who thought they were broken.” –Alex Partridge, ADHD Chatter podcast host and bestselling author of Now It All Makes Sense
“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, LCSW, New York Times bestselling author of Are You Mad at Me?
“There’s no fluff here–just straight to the point information on how to understand your brain and how to work with it in all areas of life. I imagine it will be sitting on the shelves of ADHDers and therapists alike for decades to come.” –KC Davis, LPC, author of How to Keep House While Drowning
“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
