Sinopsis

Millions of people have received ADHD diagnoses and the numbers continue to climb, but our culture remains full of myths, stigma, and misinformation about just what it is and how it works. Andrew Coltrin offers a personable, readable guide, with facts that go beyond the basics to bring nuanced answers and advice you can use today. You already know that using a planner, a timer, and another to-do list won''t magically make you neurotypical-but what if you didn''t have to work quite so hard to fit others'' expectations? This book is packed with supportive solidarity and solid strategies for ADHD folks, plus nuanced answers and new perspectives for parents, teachers, employers, friends, or partners. Coltrin''s writing is interspersed with comics, offering insightful (and funny) answers to questions about meds, diagnoses, overlaps with other neurodivergent conditions, and what are all these acronyms on social media anyway? The goal of it all isn''t to fix your brain, it''s to learn to work with it. By better understanding ADHD as one thread of the human tapestry, we can better understand each other and ourselves.

Acerca del autor

Andrew Coltrin is a writer, comics artist, and disabilities advocate when not at the day job as a paraeducator for a large urban school district. For decades Andrew thought he was just weird, anxious and unexplainably broken until the DSM finally had an update that caught up with lived experience. Andrew was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 37, and informally diagnosed with ADHD by his brother in 2023 ("your DHD is Advanced"). Andrew's previous work include the glossary zine A is for Autistic, and the zine Ability: Emerging from the Social Constraints on Neurodivergence and Disability. Andrew has also led staff trainings about neurodiversity and has spoken on panels at the Interdisciplinary Autism Research Festival (2021) and the Tucson Zine Fest (2023). Dr. Faith G. Harper, ACS, ACN, holds postdoctoral certifications in sexology and applied clinical nutrition and is trained in yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindful movement, and all of those other forms of care that make most people avoid her at parties. In the past, she has worked in academia, community mental health, and private practice as a licensed professional counselor. She maintains a connection with academia through her work with the Society of Indian Psychologists. She lives in San Antonio, TX, with her amazing friends and family and terrible rescue cats. She can be reached through her website, faithgharper.com. Subscribe to the Unfuck Your Brain newsletter to get a discount on her books and zines.
