MISUNDERSTOOD: My Journey to a Diagnosis of AuDHD That Explains Nearly Everything

Rate this book
Misunderstood is about a therapist’s own journey with mental health. This is a real-life story of nearly four decades of pain, feeling misunderstood, and searching for clarity. It's an unabashed look into a complicated life.
Through her writing, Lisa shares the raw, messy, and often hilarious realities of neurodivergent life, tackling topics like executive dysfunction, sensory overload, shame, and the never-ending game of Where Did I Put My…?
After spending decades navigating a maze of misdiagnoses, Lisa finally uncovered the missing puzzle pieces—ADHD and autism—shedding light on a lifetime of struggles, strengths, and everything in between.
Misunderstood is a mix of memoir, education, and advocacy. Lisa’s transparency and vulnerability invite readers to explore ADHD and autism through a lens of curiosity rather than judgment.
