High points for this easily digestible book chock full of compassion and hacks for those with ADHD. "The Mini ADHD Coach" includes an overview of an ADHD diagnosis, common executive function challenges, and advice + hacks for overcoming them. All of the information is presented in bite-sized chunks along with the illustrations that have built Alice Gendron a following on social media. If you have read other books on ADHD before, you'll likely find much of this book a repeat — this is where I fall, so this was more of a four-star read for me personally, but I think it's a five-star for someone new to the topic. I most enjoyed the hacks section. For my children who are still working to understand themselves and how they tick, this was a great primer in a super-friendly format that they were happy to flip through.

loved the removal of ADHD stereotypes and explaining how it can present differently in individuals and some of the hacks/tips given have been super helpful to me!

i definitely learned i have ADHD tendencies from this book, which was so reassuring. i didn't realize the triggers or causes of some of the feelings or thoughts I've experienced growing up were related to ADHD but this book explains and provides support on how to navigate these aha moments. Very resourceful and fun to read through, found the last chapter to be extremely beneficial as well with tips and tactics on how to make life easier - some of which I've already been doing! Would recommend or reread again.
