Moving Forward with ADHD: A Lived Perspective

Mitch, a psychology post-graduate, wrote this book for individuals who have, may have, have a significant other, or family member, who has Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). For Mitch, this book is part personal lived experience, being diagnosed in his 30s ("late"), combined with educational means on recognising symptoms, getting a real diagnosis, understanding what ADHD is, and how it can and does affect an individual: Do/Are you: - Have ADHD? - Unsure if you have ADHD? - On the fence of whether to seek diagnosis or not? - Know someone with ADHD? - Want to better understand ADHD? - Want to understand diagnosis? - Want to understand technological impact on ADHD? - Improve focus - Improve task initiation - Improve self-regulation and mood - Improve communication - Want to learn to be strategic with symptoms? - Want to learn how to create systems to manage ADHD at a base level, as opposed to managing symptoms? Insight into known means of how to manage, function and potentially thrive with and because of ADHD are explored in Moving Forward with ADHD.

Navigating the world of ADHD through diagnosis in children to adults, through to first-line treatments and behavioural management, can be a complex process & journey.
