A former coworker of mine mentioned that he'd recently been diagnosed with ADHD and his therapist had recommended this book to him.

Very on-brand, the author recommends early on that you skip around to different sections of the book depending on what seems relevant to you.

I thought the early sections about the history of ADHD as a diagnosis and the various elements that may or may not manifest with it were fascinating. I don't have a diagnosis but I definitely recognized traits that I share from these sections.

Later on the topics get more specialized (dealing with your own ADHD, dealing with a child with it, etc.) and I was almost grateful to have "permission" to skip around at that point. Most of these later sections were not super relevant to me but I can definitely see them being a useful resource for folks in the relevant situations.

Definitely a good primer for anyone curious about ADHD and wanting to know more before maybe getting a diagnosis.
