Attention Seeker - by Darcy Michael (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A hilarious and practical guide to living with adult ADHD from neurodivergent comedian Darcy Michaels

If you're an adult with ADHD, you know it can be an isolating and lonely endeavor. Managing even the most mundane activities--preparing meals, keeping up with housework, maintaining a schedule--can seem overwhelming in a world that's not built for your brain. But you're not alone.

In I'd Like Your Attention, Please, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurospicy end of the spectrum. From nailing a job interview to maintaining friendships and even parenting effectively, Darcy shares the challenges (and hidden joys) of navigating life with an attention-addled brain.

Darcy's stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy are accompanied by actionable advice, quizzes, and practical exercises designed to support those in the ADHD community. This laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them.
