Good morning fellow ADHDers,

I just read How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe (she has a fantastic YouTube channel as well and I wish I knew this stuff 20+ years ago. So I thought I’d give away copies to my favorite ADHD sub. I’m giving away ten copies in a contest. I’ve never done something like this before so I’ll probably mess it up or go ride bikes and forget, but it’ll be up for a week (hopefully pinned), and the replies with the most points get the book.

I’m happy to mail a physical copy, or an ebook or an audio book, your choice. I’m US based so a physical copy may be sketchy outside of the US but lets go for it.

How to get points: Reply and include some or more of the below.

Most upvotes: +1
Second most upvotes: +1
Newest reply when contest closes: +1
Most engagement/replies to a comment: +1
Quirky fake quote from the book: +1
Fake chapter title and summary from the book: +1
Meme of the book: +1
Fake book cover of the book: +1
ADHD character cosplay/art: +1 (dress up as your favorite ADHD person or post art of them, AI art counts!)
Wildcard challenge +1 (create your own challenge and get others to participate)
Unsung hero award +3 (share someone who has been an unsung hero for you and your ADHD challenges)

Have fun, and hope this doesn’t become a disaster…! I mean I was supposed to post this on Wednesday, but you know, ADHD…

EDIT: Multiple replies are cool, I’ll use a vlookup or something to merge them together!

    My (more-or-less) unsung heroes would have to be my psychotherapists who, believe it or not, did not diagnose me with ADHD! They did tests on me, yes, but each time the results were inconclusive.

    Only then did they help me realize how much fear and anxiety were playing a big part in my executive dysfunction. A part bigger than I could have imagined. It is those things that they helped me deal with and that has genuinely changed not only my life but also my outlook on it.

    I still may be neurodivergent. But I will not let that fact be my identity, by leaning into it and thinking it’s the source of all my problems. Instead they helped me learn how to be in control of my life more than ever :)
