Darkly funny, unflinchingly honest and offering real, tried-and-tested tips, this book is for if you’ve ever wondered: is it my ADHD?

For years, podcaster and writer Grace Timothy felt like something was wrong. At 37, a doctor suggested ADHD – and everything finally made sense.

In this intersectional guide, Grace explores what ADHD actually looks like in women: the school struggles, friendship breakdowns, career pivots and daily overwhelm. With insights from leading experts and stories from other women and non-binary people, she unpacks why girls continue to be misdiagnosed and dismissed, and equips you with the tools to navigate life with ADHD on your own terms.

Publisher Review

Is It My ADHD is an honest account of the highs and lows of ADHD. It uses professional knowledge and information alongside important reflections from Grace and other ADHDers. If you think you might have ADHD or have been diagnosed then this book will help you on your journey. It’s now top of my recommendation list! — Dr Jo Steer Highly recommended. An engaging & easy to read book explaining how ADHD impacts on the individual, their family, friends & colleagues. Facts are explained simply & compassion, humour & the triumph of ‘thinking differently’ shine out of every page. The book explains what has become a controversial and complex issue widely accessibly – and at the same time, in a well researched, academically sound way. I am sure this will become widely read and influential in the growing national conversation about ADHD & the Neurodiversity paradigm. — Dr Tony Lloyd, CEO of the ADHD Foundation A brilliant and necessary book for anyone grappling with their own neurodivergence. Hugely accessible and thoughtful, I loved it. — Cariad Lloyd
