Personal Development

'Brilliant and necessary.' - Cariad Lloyd

'It's now top of my recommendation list!' - Dr Jo Steer

'Empowering' - Anna Mathur

'A revelation' - Char Bailey

'Engaging... well-researched' - Dr Tony Lloyd

Darkly funny, relatable and unflinchingly honest, Is it My ADHD? gives irreverent and intersectional insight into what life is like for women living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Much like the 3-4% of the British population with ADHD, Grace Timothy always felt on the outskirts of 'normal'. After a lifetime of mental and physical symptoms that didn't quite add up, she was finally diagnosed in 2021.

At the time, information was scant. Now, neurodivergence is the hot topic on everyone's lips. With this increased awareness, we've encountered a new challenge: how can we circumnavigate the misinformation and better understand our own brains?

Writer and podcaster Grace Timothy speaks to those living with ADHD to explore traits specific to women, grounding each chapter in clinical research and expert commentary. Offering comfort and real, tried-and-tested tips along the way, this book is for anyone who's ever wondered, is it my ADHD?
