About this listen

Matilda Boseley's adult ADHD diagnosis was a massive, earth-shattering event. She was given a prescription but had no idea what ADHD meant for her identity, her relationships or her future.

Twelve months of confusion later, journalist Matilda embarked on an epic voyage to figure out what's really happening in the stormy seas of the ADHD brain and write the guide she wished she'd had.

The Year I Met My Brain is the ultimate travel companion for navigating and enjoying life as an ADHD adult, covering:

- what adult ADHD symptoms look like

- why so many ADHDers (especially females) are missed as kids

- how the disorder impacts our relationships, careers and self-esteem

- why we unfairly treat ourselves like failures - and how to find self-forgiveness and healing

- practical tips for social and organisational wins

- and, most importantly, how to make our lives work to fit our brains rather than trying to force our brains to fit our lives.

Uplifting, empowering, deeply researched and sparkling with 'a-ha' moments, The Year I Met My Brain is an invaluable resource for ADHDers and those who love them.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The book offers a fresh perspective on ADHD. As I dove into its pages, I found it to be engaging and educational, providing valuable insights into ADHD. Matilda’s narrative not only sheds light on the challenges and experiences of individuals with ADHD but also offers a nuanced understanding of the condition. While reading, I gained a more profound appreciation for those nuances of ADHD, as I worked through my own diagnosis and I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and understanding of ADHD. It's a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the subject.

Brilliant read
