Synopsis

Presented in vivid detail, Living with Inattentive ADHD showcases how attention deficit hyperactivity disorder profoundly affects a person’s daily life and emotional well-being. The essential primer on a lesser known diagnosis of ADHD, this book features both prescriptive and experiential solutions for inattentive attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Written by someone diagnosed late in life, this insightful memoir layers the author's personal experiences with practical revelations on issues common to those living with this condition, including growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, living with it as an adult, and frank discussions about the struggles and obstacles involved.
Cynthia Hammer lived for 49 years without knowing she had ADHD and then she lived 30 years additional years after her diagnosis before writing her honest and captivating memoir and self-help book. If you have family members who don't understand the broad impacts ADHD has on a person's life, this audiobook will be a revelation for them and they might finally accept your ADHD challenges. Cynthia started a non-profit, ADD Resources, shortly after her diagnosis to help other adults learn about their ADHD. In 2021 she started her second non-profit, the Inattentive ADHD Coalition, (www.iadhd.org) after realizing that those with the inattentive type of ADHD continue to be under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed. Then, in 2024 she has started a project, FINDtheADHDgirls.org, after realizing that girls with ADHD continue to be under-diagnosed or diagnosed later in life when early diagnosis is what is needed.
Vanessa Jones, a voice actor and a woman with ADHD, gives a masterful reading of the audiobook. She brings the text alive so you will find yourself immersed by this well-written, award-winning audiobook.

I read this to try to better understand my son. This really is from an adult diagnosed perspective and I think serves best to enhance empathy rather than give the reader a grounding in the science/study of adhd. While there were some good stories the writing is exhausting to read (someone without ad......more

Goodreads review by Adam on March 18, 2025

Very informative, though I do find "self-help" books as a category of books to be difficult to judge. It is difficult to know how helpful they are to you without doing extensive research into the background of the author and other contributors. At times, I found the book great as I thought, "Oh that......more

Goodreads review by Carla on October 06, 2024

This is a memoir – actually a medical memoir written from the personal perspective of the author. It is not intended to be a go-to medical book on Inattentive Disorder, or any of the other types of ADHD, but there are a lot of links and references to useful info in the addendum that will provide pla......more
