Matilda Boseley

Matilda Boseley’s adult ADHD diagnosis was a massive, earth-shattering event. She was given a prescription but had no idea what ADHD meant for her identity, her relationships or her future. Twelve months of confusion later, journalist Matilda embarked on an epic voyage to figure out what’s really happening in the stormy seas of the ADHD brain and write the guide she wished she’d had. The Year I Met My Brain is the ultimate travel companion for navigating and enjoying life as an ADHD adult, covering: - what adult ADHD symptoms look like - why so many ADHDers (especially females) are missed as kids - how the disorder impacts our relationships, careers and self-esteem - why we unfairly treat ourselves like failures – and how to find self-forgiveness and healing - practical tips for social and organisational wins - and, most importantly, how to make our lives work to fit our brains rather than trying to force our brains to fit our lives. Uplifting, empowering, deeply researched and sparkling with 'a-ha' moments, The Year I Met My Brain is an invaluable resource for ADHDers and those who love them.

The issue is, ADHD is way more complicated and diverse than we give it credit for. So what is it? Well, the short answer is that it's a condition characterised by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity and/or impulsivity that interferes with your functioning and negatively affects daily life.

I wish I never saw that stupid inspirational quote, 'Find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.' I do have a job that l love but I still feel every minute of work in my bones.

Alex Watson-Keast

if, like me, a little capitalist demon sometimes sneaks into your body and convinces you that you need to buy something to feel whole again, these things are at least a productive purchase that still provide that 'there's a package making its way to me' rush of dystopian joy.
