About this audiobook

Hello,

My name is Suzanne Byrd, and I have been sharing my thoughts and insights on ADHD in a couple of audiobooks we have produced lately. I am an ADHD coach, and I would love to share some of the insights I have gained over the last decade or so with you. I have also found that there isn’t much in the way of informational material that is easy to digest in this area.

There are some very good books which talk about ADHD in a great deal of detail and others that are merely repeating what a few blogs are saying. I wanted to go for something that was easy to digest, along with something that would be eminently useful to my audience, in an audiobook format.

So who is my audience for this book? I believe that they will be mainly women (or their other halves!) who are interested in reading material about ADHD in adult women because

a) they have recently been diagnosed with ADHD or

b) they strongly suspect they may have adult ADHD and they want to know more information about it. There is a small sub-group

c) that is the spouse/other half of the the women in question, and they want to usually know more about the condition so that they can be in a better position to help their partner our (and also to understand their own emotional response to some of the signs and symptoms of adult ADHD.

Ratings and reviews

If you did any prior google search on ADHD, you'll already have read everything in this book. Some parts are word for word from free available articles including the NHS website. It's only good for if you're overwhelmed by researching and would like a summary in one place. Quite a bit of repetition too.

Very brief only 6 mins long. Better off joining ADDitude magazine newsletter and saving your money. It seems that most of the info is paraphrased from there anyway. plus oppositional deficient disorder isn't a thing as far as I am aware it's oppositional defiant disorder.

Great summary! This audiobook on ADHD and women was a really good insight into the main challenges faced by women with ADHD, as well as how their experiences can differ from men with ADHD. Highly recommended!
