Attention seeker : a neurodivergent comedian's guide to thriving with ADHD / Darcy Michael.
"If you're an adult with ADHD, you know it can be an isolating and lonely endeavour. Managing even the most mundane activities -- preparing meals, keeping up with housework, maintaining a schedule -- can seem overwhelming in a world that's not built for your brain. But you're not alone. In Attention Seeker, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurospicy end of the spectrum. From nailing a job interview to maintaining friendships and even parenting effectively, Darcy shares the challenges (and hidden joys) of navigating life with an attention-addled brain. Darcy's stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy are accompanied by actionable advice, quizzes, and practical exercises designed to support those in the ADHD community. This laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them"-- Provided by publisher.
