AuDHD & Me : Growing up Distracted
I received a formal diagnosis of ADHD in March followed by an informal disgnosis of Autism (Psychiatrist concluded that “7 out of 8 of the scores are (decisively) above the screening threshold for autism”. I have to book a final meeting to make it formal).
This book consists of the journey I take after a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism, looking back at my life . Dissecting my childhood, Education, Employment and Relationships. Deciphering the mysteries of my behaviours and gaining a new understanding of myself. I also go into recent research, provide an encyclopaedia of terms and the personal stories of other individuals living with this condition, to provide insight, understanding and awareness. While we have learnt so much in the last 10-years, there is still a stigma and misunderstanding surrounding a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism.
This book contains everything I have learnt, with the hope it will be a road map for you on your journey.

A New Dawn
What I hope is just one of the first books by AuDHD women who have been late diagnosed. There is a dearth of info for folks with both conditions but this book is the beginning of a change.
I liked reading this because it helped me make sense of my own dx and see how other folks with the same things have gotten through life so far. It can probably be summed up by the song "It Ain't Easy" by David Bowie.
