If you've been given an ADHD diagnosis, if you love someone who has, or even if you think ADHD might describe you, don't sleep on this book." --Dr. Mark Shrime, surgeon, career coach, and author of Solving for Why

WELCOME TO THE CLUB--ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in adults, yet "there are no US guidelines for diagnosing and treating patients beyond childhood" ( The New York Times). With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, there's a huge gap between lived experiences and straightforward information.

Enter Cate Osborn and Erik Gude, ADHD advocates, educators, and hosts of the wildly popular podcast Catie and Eric's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure. They have witnessed this info gap firsthand in their own lives and in the flood of questions they regularly field from their millions of social media followers. Irreverent, indispensable, candid, and reassuring, Cate and Erik don't paper over the realities of neurodivergence. They give it to you straight.

Featuring the most up-to-date foundational information, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, and the healthcare system. Ingeniously structured and designed to be accessible for neurodivergent readers, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults features a wealth of knowledge and hard-won wisdom on:

-Identifying comorbidities (e.g. autism; anxiety; depression; dyslexia; and others)
-Coping with stress, boredom, and other experiences
-Asking for help
-Creating organizational systems that work for you and how to triage if you diverge from them
-Improving time management
-Recognizing the effects of hormones on ADHD
-Learning to listen to your body when interoception makes it tricky
-Approaching sex and sensory issues, desire and intimacy
-Noticing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and other cognitive distortions in relationships
-And much more...
