Description

Darkly humorous, relatable and unflinchingly honest, Is it My ADHD gives irreverent insight into what life is truly like for women and those assigned female at birth who are living with ADHD.

Much like the 3-4% of the British population with ADHD , Grace always felt on the outskirts of 'normal' but could never express why. When she was finally diagnosed in 2021, information on ADHD in women was scant. Now, neurodivergence is the hot topic on everyone's lips, and with the increased awareness, we've encountered a new challenge: how can we circumnavigate the misinformation and better understand our own brains

In Is It My ADHD, writer, journalist and podcaster Grace Timothy speaks to experts and those living with ADHD about what life is truly like as a neurodivergent adult, offering support, comfort and advice along the way, as well as providing the reader with tools to understand what ADHD really is.

With expert help, this book will bust the myths, offer helpful guides to different aspects of ADHD and give key insight into the lived experience of ADHD, exploring the common - and not so common - symptoms and traits specific to the women and those assigned female at birth, taking into account the various intersections of race, gender, culture and age.

Author Bio

Grace Timothy is a lifestyle writer who has previously contributed to Vogue, Glamour, Sunday Times Style, Grazia, Red and Stylist, and now freelances from her home in Sussex. Grace is also a brand consultant specialising in fashion, beauty and helping companies better support neurodivergent customers and staff, and the host of the Is It My ADHD podcast. Since being diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, she has been on a mission to spread awareness of the true lived experience of ADHD in women and non-binary people, in whom ADHD is so often missed, thanks to the fact that the diagnostic criteria and research is so heavily skewed to the white male case study.
