Tip of the ADHD Iceberg - by Hiew (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

An expert-led guide that helps you unpack all the unseen elements that accompany a late diagnosis - from co-occurring conditions such as autism, anxiety or depression, to other life factors such as family, culture and upbringing.

A compassionate guide for everyone grappling with their neurodiversity

Your ADHD doesn't exist in a vacuum: your upbringing, your culture, your relationships and any other conditions you might have, such as autism, depression or anxiety, all affect your experience as a neurodiverse individual. Navigating these intersecting areas can be challenging - but it isn't impossible.

Tip of the ADHD Iceberg offers a sensitive exploration of the nuances of neurodiversity, preparing you for the whirlwind that can come after a diagnosis and equipping you with the essential tools for self-advocacy. In this book, ADHD Girls Founder and award-winning keynote speaker Dr Sam Hiew expertly blends her lived experience of ADHD and autism with her background in medical science to create a deeply empathetic guide to processing your diagnosis in the context of your whole life, from your personal relationships to the workplace environment.

Affirming, vindicating and empowering, you will learn to heal from a life of flying under the radar as well as how to prepare yourself for the road ahead.
