[Hayden Finch]

This is the ADHD book many adults didn’t know they were waiting for! In her signature shame-busting style, Dr. Horn offers a strength-based, polyvagal-informed reframe of ADHD. She explains that ADHD is not a personal failure, and you don’t need more productivity hacks or a new planner to thrive. Instead, she shows how the neuroregulation differences in ADHD play out in our relationships and offers concrete tools for navigating the relational challenges that often come with it. Deeply anti-shame and genuinely hopeful, this book focuses on what matters most, helping adults with ADHD thrive socially.
