Review Quotes:
"James and Alex helped me understand my ADHD when I was first diagnosed, and ADHD Unpacked brings that same clarity to all adults with ADHD. Rooted in science, this book busts myths, explores the condition's complexities, and offers practical insights. Essential reading for anyone looking to better understand and live well with ADHD." --Tom Watson, Sunday Times bestselling author of Downsizing
"A vital deep dive into the science, understandings and misunderstandings of ADHD, that's digestible, relatable and essential reading." --Anita Bhagwandas, journalist and author of Ugly "To paraphrase Alex's high school analogy, 'almost every single book I read feels like a slow and laborious torture of boredom'... but NOT this one! Engaging, unpretentious, relatable, informative and unifying. Facts and lived experiences smashing up stereotypes. This book can change and even save lives! Everyone should read it, but particularly ADHD adults (self-diagnosis is valid!), and the fact it can hold my attention SPEAKS VOLUMES!" --Laura Mears-Reynolds, host of ADHD AF Podcast "This book brings much-needed nuance to the ADHD discourse, blending lived and academic insights and experience with considerable care and humour. It untangles ADHD's complexities and offers solid advice for adults; I felt understood, informed and ultimately empowered- it's a true gift to the community. This book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand ADHD deeply in relation to themselves or others (or are considering weighing in on its validity in the national press...!)"" --Hana Walker Brown, author of A Delicate Game
