Sharing stories of her struggles with the condition, which spiralled as she approached adulthood, Jessica offers expert-backed guidance for adapting your environment, routines and systems to work with the ADHD brain, including how to:

  • facilitate your focus and fight distractions by decreasing the noise
  • build your time wisdom by planning backwards to prioritise more effectively

Presented in an ADHD-friendly design and packed with practical advice and tools, How to ADHD is an affirming, warm and helpful guide that will help you recognise your challenges, tackle 'bad brain days', and to ultimately be kinder to yourself.

Well researched and translated into easy to understand language. I could identify with most of what she said. It was amusing too. Very relatable and well communicated.

Very relatable evidence based strategies for ADHD

As someone diagnosed with ADHD in my mid-30’s, I found Jess’s YouTube channel a big help to understand myself and explain my brain to others (dealing with assumptions and stereotypes along the way). And so, I couldn’t wait to read Jess’s book. Full disclosure, I bought both the hardcover book and the audiobook - I’ve needed both for the way I learn.

Jess has done a fantastic job with her team collating the research on ADHD from experts and infusing it with her own lived experiences, and those of other “Brains” from around the world.

This book doesn’t promise to be a fix-all. All of us “Brains” are different. But the tools she provides are practical, grounded in research, and informed by lived experience. Throughout the book I think “that’s me she’s described”, but importantly I’m left understanding why I have been struggling, and without feeling any judgement. I’m simply learning.

Finally, the best part of the audiobook is having Jess read it herself. Her experience on YouTube has made her an expert on delivery, conveying the enthusiasm, empathy, and encouragement that she’s known for. Thank-you for this gift of a resource to the ADHD community and our loved ones!!

I’m not broken! The gift Jess gives her ADHD community.

As a newly minted ADHD’er, this is the book I really needed. Explanations of my brain that were clear, accurate, well researched, and delivered in a way that was easy to follow, relateable, engaging, informative and amusing.
I have listened and read simultaneously to support my focus and found this worked really well.
The book follows a very similar style to her uTube vlog by the same name. ‘How to ADHD’, the vlog, was actually recommended to me by a specialist, so it was great to know her work was reliable and trustworthy as I was reading, not just experienced based, thought the personal experience is what makes this book so good. She knows this. She lives it. It’s not just an area of interest for Jessica, it’s her own life journey. Thank you Jessica!

What I needed to hear and know I could trust.

Thank you Jessica, for putting this thorough, captivating and relevant piece of work together. I can relate in so many ways!

I would like to review it properly on my website soon (okay let's just say I've put this on my mental list 🤪).

There were parts when I cried with you (especially the end), laughed with you (oh so relatable!), and parts when I was so GRATEFUL that you did the work of teasing out the information.

I've been meaning to start my blog properly for years (I've been paying for the domain for 3 years already 🙃) but hadn't because I couldn't face the emotions of my subject matter: ADHD and being diagnosed later in life.

So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Jessica is a great science communicator, listening to her lives experience and those others that she has peppered through the book is very relatable.

Wow just wow

When listening to this book, what I took as normal was something that I now know has some gaps that I could not answer. I am trying the strategies and now know why creativity need boundaries. I am a member of the YouTube channel and it has been amazing to learn how to adjust.

While not diagnosed I can relate and be checked up.

This book outlines the symptoms and solutions for ADHD so clearly that I have been inspired to get an assessment myself. I'm so grateful for the vulnerability and hard work of Jessica to share her story and research.

Easily relatable and a good book to listen to. If you have ADHD symptoms or ADHD I would recommend to read/listen too.

I’m 38 and was just diagnosed with ADHD. This is the most helpful resource I’ve found so far. I especially appreciate the care put in to make the book ADHD brain friendly, with information being broken up into small bites. Even the citation list is accessible!
The clinical information was helpful but so were the personal anecdotes which made me feel a little less alone.

The perfect starting point
