ADHD: A Modern Lexicon is an easy to read, personal and insightful appraisal of ADHD today. It uses the latest terminology adopted by the ADHD community (and the author). The book contains an overview of the condition, chapters covering the most typical behaviours, things ADHDers hate, some coping methods along with a few tips and tricks.
The book has a section with the basics about ADHD (neurodiversity, diagnosis, disability, dopamine and severity), descriptions of common behaviours (bored, dopamine hunting, boxes with complexity, duality and opposition, weirdar, Oh, Dear Oh Dear. I shall be late, one more thing, Hey! Look, a squirrel, zigzagging, hyperfocus, the last mile, memory, perfection), things we hate (admin, feedback, bosses, getting up early), coping methods (the buddy system, the oasis, secret sauce) and a short section of tips and tricks.
The book has multiple illustrations by the author that accompany the text.
This book is suitable for anyone with ADHD, those who think they might have the condition, and anyone who wants to know more about it. The book has been designed to maximise readability, with short chapters, illustrations, and a sans serif font.
