Well-structured for the disorganized and easily distracted brain. Lots of practical insight and advice. I'm excited to give this to my adhd teen daughter.

I am not a teenage girl with ADHD, but the structure of the book feels about better suited to an adult than a young teen; maybe age 16 rather than 12 (and I'd gotten this to help a 12 year old). Like, I think a reader might want solutions before they learn about neurochemistry. But it's fine as a reference guide.

I read through this book in preparation to see whether it would suit my teenage daughter. It is really quite hard to expect someone , especially a teenager, with adhd to work through a book, but this one appears to me potentially doable. It is short, the chapters are visibly broken into smaller chunks, important things are in bold and there are regularly little gray boxes with ' activities for reflection '. I will see how she finds it. It has certainly given me some opportunity to understand the challenges she faces better.

there are some grammar mistakes - a dropped word, letter, or punctuation here and there - but it was super easy for me to read, even with adhd i read it in about 2 days while taking notes. it’s structured well so that you’re not just reading a wall of text that can be daunting for people with adhd. also, the information, though a lot of it is common sense, is very helpful and informative, especially to people who don’t have much experience in managing adhd. even though i’m 22 so not a teenager anymore, i found a lot of the info & tips helpful for me!

This book was spot on with helpful tips and an uplifting (non shaming) view of adhd however I didn’t rate it because I’d have a hard time knowing which age group to recommend it to. It might be best for parents or coaches of girls to read and implement from that way. At times it was written as if the reader was under 12 and other times it was more advanced.
Overall, thankful this information is out there and, as I said, if my daughter had adhd, I’d probably buy it to have around the house in case she might be inclined to pick it up

wonderfully simple guide to adhd

9/10

I wasn’t clear on the symptoms of ADHD and how to recognize it in somebody else’s- or in myself.

This book provided a refreshingly simple explanation of ADHD and how it can manifest itself naturally.

It was exactly the type of book I needed at exactly the right time.

Highly recommended for anybody trying to learn about an ADHD diagnosis.

It could be because I'm American and the book is written for British readers, but there are a few grammatical errors, though they are easy to read around. Otherwise, the book is formatted with lots of bullet points, boxes, smaller paragraphs, and other tools to help keep your ADHD brain from getting discouraged.

I wish this book had been available when I was growing up. It’s not only helpful and well written, it’s also fun and entertaining.

You can sense the author’s experience and knowledge in the subject.

Highly recommend!!!
