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.

I listened to this as I have been going through the process of my own diagnosis (aged 41). I don’t know anyone else with ADHD so this book has been a great companion for me the last few weeks. It has been so reassuring to know that not only am I not alone after a lifetime of being the odd one out and doctors diagnosing me as “just weird”, but actually for the first time ever I am an entirely textbook case.

Listen to this if you want to know more about yourself. Listen to this if you want to understand more about an adult woman ADHDer you know. Just listen to it. Now. Don’t put it on your wish list for later, then get distracted by a magpie in the garden and never come back to it!

It’s listening to the story of my own brain

Such a cool book about ADHD in women & girls from a personal perspective. I believe a memoir/personal tellings of such a condition are vital to understanding the nature of such experiences. It was an informative and funny listen.

A Must Read
