Hi! I’m Sam. And I have ADHD.

I only found out when I was 30 years old, but my life has always felt like a bit of a rollercoaster. Sometimes, I get distracted during conversations and forget to listen. I often start new tasks before finishing the old ones. I’ve been known to lose my temper when things feel overwhelming. And once or twice I even cried into my textbooks at school when it all got too much.

But guess what? I’ve also discovered that ADHD can be my superpower! I’ve found things I love and become super passionate about them. I’ve worked hard to be the best I can be at what I enjoy. And now I know that ADHD isn’t a bad thing – in fact, I wouldn’t be me without it!

Packed with:
  • Funny stories and honest insights into the challenges of ADHD, and the positive bits too
  • Tips and activities for managing and embracing ADHD
  • Advice for parents and carers on how to support children in their ADHD journey

This funny, heartwarming and hopeful book is the perfect reminder that ADHD is nothing to be ashamed of. Having a difference is something to celebrate!
