Don\u2019t worry, the ADHD people will get bored first (being easily bored is one of the most common traits). A friend sent me this piece from The Guardian because I \u201ccame out\u201d as an ADHD freak in May last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, I didn\u2019t so much \u201ccome out\u201d as burst into the street proclaiming that my condition was in the 1% of the most severe (which must make me extra special).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than that, I launched a book which had been seven years in the writing &#8211; ever since I was told I had this mental kink which affects 5% of the world\u2019s population (or to put it another way, 1.5 billion people).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I make no excuses for plugging the book because I am intensely proud of it. It was the hardest thing I have ever written and people have been kind enough to say it is the best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then, on Christmas Day, an Amazon customer called Mark took the time out of his festivities to write this review:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mark<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding life\u2019s journey with ADHD<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2024<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verified Purchase<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can\u2019t believe how well this book explains ADHD and the journey through a life well lived \u2026. It\u2019s autobiographical pre-knowing about why certain life adventures and behaviours occurred and later it is all making sense of the diagnosis later in life. Explains the ordinary life many people have but special people have a totally different life as they are wired in a way that means we all need to read this book \u2026. Sad on a personal level but other aspects are rewarding \u2026 this book resonates with one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fair winds to those like John.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find it here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/84V6JUb?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0Hclw41U6C_axtXowS_BuOwchQqKoz1B2ozuY2-jeMr0T-GUh_su5_45Q_aem_jX8LC2I52wgPnaWWUFzV2A\"><strong>https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/84V6JUb<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Everyone is talking about ADHD &#8211; it\u2019s in danger of becoming boring.
