How to ADHD: An Insider's Guide to Working with Your Brain (Not Against It) By Jessica McCabe

In "How to ADHD," Jessica McCabe, the creator of the award-winning YouTube channel, shares a genuine, shame-free guide for individuals navigating life with ADHD. Diagnosed at twelve, Jessica struggled with a brain she didn't understand, facing challenges like losing things, unfinished projects, and feeling outpaced by others. At thirty-two, she delved deep into her ADHD challenges, reaching out to experts and sharing her discoveries on YouTube.

This guide offers insights and practical strategies to thrive in a world not built for neurodivergent brains. Instead of the conventional "try harder" approach, Jessica advocates trying differently. Drawing from personal experiences, she emphasizes understanding and working with ADHD tendencies, not against them.

The book covers various aspects of ADHD's impact on daily life, including executive function impairments, rejection sensitivity, and attention regulation difficulties. Jessica provides ADHD-specific strategies for adapting environments, routines, and systems. Key topics include boosting focus by minimizing distractions, managing possessions more efficiently, building "time wisdom" through backward planning, and understanding and regulating emotions.

With quotes from Jessica's online community, chapter summaries, and reader-friendly shortcuts, "How to ADHD" serves as a compassionate companion for neurodivergent individuals. It empowers readers to recognize their strengths, tackle challenging days, and practice self-kindness.

The book is not just a guide; it's an insightful and empathetic resource, bridging the gap between neurodivergent experiences and the neurotypical world.

"How to ADHD" is a beacon for embracing neurodiversity and navigating life with understanding and resilience. 📚❤️
