Personal Development

Matilda Boseley's adult ADHD diagnosis was a massive, earth-shattering event. She was given a prescription but had no idea what ADHD meant for her identity, her relationships or her future.

Twelve months of confusion later, journalist Matilda embarked on an epic voyage to figure out what's really happening in the stormy seas of the ADHD brain and write the guide she wished she'd had.

The Year I Met My Brain is the ultimate travel companion for navigating and enjoying life as an ADHD adult, covering-

- what adult ADHD symptoms look like
- why so many ADHDers (especially females) are missed as kids
- how the disorder impacts our relationships, careers and self-esteem
- why we unfairly treat ourselves like failures - and how to find self-forgiveness and healing
- practical tips for social and organisational wins
- and, most importantly, how to make our lives work to fit our brains rather than trying to force our brains to fit our lives.

Uplifting, empowering, deeply researched and sparkling with 'a-ha' moments, The Year I Met My Brain is an invaluable resource for ADHDers and those who love them.

MATILDA BOOKSHOP REVIEW

With ADHD dominating contemporary discussions about health and neurodiversity, The Year I Met My Brain is a must-read for anyone who has received or is considering an ADHD diagnosis, and for family and friends who wish to learn more about how they can better support neurodivergent loved ones in their lives. Matilda Boseley’s considered exploration of the ADHD brain is grounded in exemplary research but written with an abundance of anecdotal detail and humour which makes for an accessible yet enlightening read.
