a masterclass from the most impactful researcher

The only thing I didn't enjoy is the narration, but I accept that maybe a personal preference.

Excellent wealth of advice

This is a fantastic in depth, wealth of knowledge and ideas, book to help children with ADHD and for adults with ADHD late diagnosis understand what’s been going on with them.

Nicely broken down strategies

Lots of important info summarised. Several light bulb moments and ideas that can be easily incorporated into daily life.

Robotic voice put me off

The AI voice - or robotic narration style is really grating and makes it hard to stick with the book. It does have helpful ideas if you can bear it though!

Awful narration

This book seems a joke - the narrator has an awful, slow sing song voice which makes it impossible to focus on what he’s saying. For a book on adhd kids (who most likely have adhd parents) this makes this audiobook a complete waste of time and nothing more than irritating background noise my brain kept wandering away from.

Disappointing

The moment that the reader stated ‘ADHD IS NOT A SUPERPOWER’ and then went into great length about how we must see it purely as a disability and not a strength at all, I really didn’t want to listen to another word. The ignorant and belittling tone that incurred was really hard to hear and as someone with ADHD, who is now parenting someone with ADHD, I found much of what was said to be very limiting and wrong. I understood the premise that by seeing it purely as a superpower that it could lead to lack of support and understanding in the areas listed, but that does not mean we have to swing so far the other way that we don’t acknowledge the strengths that having ADHD brings which according to this author is none! I can’t believe the audacity to say that.

Furthermore the reader of this book is very irritating to listen to and has very irritating patterns of speech as well as inflections.

Overall some of the strategies were half helpful but things that most people already know, so I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone
