Books
“How to ADHD”, Jessica McCabe
Jessica McCabe was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. She was only receiving support via medication for her childhood. As an adult, when she moved out of home, she discovered that there was far more to being a person in society than medication and hope, so she began to look for helpful information for adults, only to find that most of the common information was aimed at parents supporting children.
“How To Keep House While Drowning”, K.C. Davis
Good for moving away from the “I need to be better at cleaning” mindset and is mostly about self-compassion. Author is an ADHDer and a therapist, and the book includes a ‘shortcut’ for pages to read if your attention span is limited.
“Unmasking Autism”, Dr Devin Price
Currently the most recommended book on understanding autism, by a person who studies autism, who is autistic. This is aimed at non-experts.
McCabe reviewed the academic literature and ADHD forums looking for clues and began her “How to ADHD” YouTube channel. This book encapsulates most of her useful findings in an ADHD Friendly format.
