ADHD Is Our Superpower: The Amazing Talents and Skills of Children with ADHD

by Soli Lazarus, Adriana Camargo (Illustrator)

If you have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you might struggle with things like concentrating in school, or sitting still, or remembering lots of instructions. But ADHD is also a superpower. In this book you will meet different girls and boys with ADHD who can do amazing things. You might recognise some of these strengths as things that you can do too! Some of these strengths help with everyday life, like being able to hyper-focus on a task or having boundless energy to try new things. Some strengths are superpowers for interacting with others, like having a strong sense of what is fair or entertaining friends and family to make them feel happy.Each character also shares things that you can ask grown-ups to do to help you, like providing visual aids, creating calm spaces, communicating effectively and being kind and patient. This book also provides guidance for parents and teachers, with advice on how they can support children with suspected or diagnosed ADHD at home or in the classroom, and provides further resources and bonus content.

A beautiful book for young children and adults that help everyone to understand ADHD in neurodiverse people especially, young children. I particularly loved how the book gives a variety of examples of children who present with different ADHD attributes. Also, particularly helpful, the book then gives tips on how to help them. First example, “If their body is seeking movement, give them a movement break to help their concentration” etc. I enjoyed this book immensely and my children did too! Absolute gem of a book that should be read by every adult especially In neurodivergent families and education settings! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
