This is a light read with ADHD basics. It probably would be a decent "bathroom book" (Do people have those anymore?) because it can be read in small segments and picked up from page. The illustrations were cute. That said as someone with executive dysfunction and many friends with ADHD, I'm not sure I really learned anything new. However, it might be good for someone who really isn't familiar ADHD at all though.

This is an adorably illustrated book to be read by those who have ADHD or want to understand ADHD more. The author/illustrator give personal examples about how they deal with and manage their ADHD, while also giving advice and background knowledge.
Very cute and would recommend to the aforementioned audience.

The Mini ADHD Coach

Where has this book been?

Okay, I can’t say definitively that I have ADHD, but I have close family members that have been diagnosed and share commonalities with them.

More often than not, the tactics that help them help me too, so I gave this book a shot.

You know when you find a book that feels like you have a friend talking to you? That’s this.

It was laid out in a way that felt manageable and actionable. I believe her and that these tips will help.

Have I tried everything? Not yet, but I do feel like everything seems worthy trying.

I’m greatly to have this tool in my arsenal! Diagnosed or not.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Quite the broad overview for anyone who is new to the diagnosis of ADHD. The word Mini is right there in the name and it fits the bill.

Thank you to NetGalley and Vermilion for an ARC of this book.

I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was 30. Mix that with being a woman with ADHD and there is so much to learn about myself with this diagnosis and the diagnosis itself. While it sucks that not learning much about ADHD from providers is a common experience, it is reassuring to see I'm not alone.

This was a book I definitely wish I would have had when I was first diagnosed. The way it mixes doodles with information really kept my attention. Plus, it was really well written for the neurospicy, keeping the book and facts on the shorter side. And even though most of what's in this book, I've found out for myself since my diagnosis (again, really would have loved this right after my diagnosis), the habit stacking section was something new to me.

This is definitely something I'd pick up for someone who is recently diagnosed with ADHD or for someone who is trying to understand ADHD a bit better.

I follow the instagram account, so I was excited to see the ARC of the book appear on NetGalley for the US release. There's such a good combination between helpful information and easy to digest information. I also like how there are multiple types of ADHD discussed with the overall theme of "no one ADHD is the same" for anybody. I would love to see this without the "intimacy" section for my students and to provide for them.

I thought this book was super cute and super helpful, there are lots of things I didn't know about my own ADHD inside of it! I want to purchase it for all my friends that also have ADHD without really knowing what it is. I highly recommend!

It was a light read that is accessible for peopel with ADHD because it doesn't have to be read in order and there are illustrations. It has helpful hacks and basic advice and terms. It's good for people who are just learning they have ADHD and people who want to understand the condition better,

I wanted to like this book. The illustrations are cute and the cover is eye catching, and for that it gets 2 stars. This book would be useful if social media didn’t exist, and ADHD knowledge wasn’t becoming more mainstream. However, that isn’t the case. There’s no new information or hacks here, and the author comes across as patronizing. Even though the audience is adults, it feels like the book should be read to kids newly diagnosed with ADHD. I can go to other creators and get the same information without needing to read 200 pages. No ADHDer wants to read 200 pages of repeat information.

With this being tagged as a graphic novel, I was expecting it to be in the vein of the "A Quick & Easy Guide" series. It wasn't heavy on prose at all. In fact, I think it was the perfect mixture of text and a graph novel.

I'm not diagnosed with ADHD, but... a lot of this felt too much like me. Like in a big serious way that I should probably talk to my therapist about. Which is interesting as I'm diagnosed autistic and some friends and acquaintances have asked if I have ADHD before. Most of things I read about in here I assumed was tied into being autistic, but maybe not?

Anyway, I'm very grateful to have came across this. I'm dead serious when I say this - I think reading this may legit change my life???

This is such a well done book for both people new to ADHD or those that have a good understanding of ADHD. I think this book would be so amazing for someone newly diagnosed as a teen or an adult, or for a parent whose child is newly diagnosed. I love the first hand anecdotes throughout. The visuals are really well done as well. Loved this start to finish! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to provide my honest review.

The Mini ADHD Coach is a must read for anyone with a diagnosis of ADHD or supports a loved on with ADHD. The author approaches the book with facts, humor and tools for overcoming the challenges of ADHD. I particularly found her section of "ADHD Hacks" to be invaluable for anyone who struggles with various aspects of their lives, include relationships, executive functioning and even getting a good night of sleep. Both my adult children and my husband have ADHD and I plan to buy each of them this wonderfully supportive book to help them manage this very multi-faceted disorder.

This friendly little book is perfect for those with ADHD or for anyone with ADHD friends or family- isn't that all of us? This inclusive guide gives helpful tips for management of symptoms, impowerment for neurodiversity, and helps us all to better understand how the ADHD brain works.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

I follow Gendron's ADHD comics on Instagram, so I was already a fan of her cute-but-informative style. ADHD symptoms and their effects vary widely, so I was happy to find Gendron acknowledging that and sticking to her own experiences while providing a lot of useful hacks for those of us with ADD-led brains. (See what I did there?) It's a light and quick little book, so don't expect a ton of info, but what's presented is great.

I felt seen when reading this book. SEEN! The symptoms that Alice describes have hit close to home. She talks about why girls aren't diagnosed the way that boys are, and the modern tribulations that come when brains do not see clutter or have to harvest nervous energy. Alice's solutions also appear practical for when a mind does not want to complete the task at hand.

This book is informative and to the point. As someone diagnosed with ADHD, I found this book easy to read and follow.

The author covers many things including ADHD terminology and gives wonderful tips and advice for living with with ADHD.

I would recommend this book to anyone diagnosed with ADHD, medical practitioners, teachers, counselors, HR staff, and anyone related to or friends with someone that has ADHD.

It’s also a great book to gift to family and friends to help them understand an ADHD brain.

Thanks to Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book.

Happy Reading 📚

As a late diagnosed ADHD female, I loved this book. It was perfectly done, education, and the doodles were fun. They kept this ADHDer engaged! I would highly recommend to some of my friends who have similar diagnoses. I would love to have this on my bookshelf.

One of the most helpful books I've read on ADHD. My son was diagnosed, and I suspect I may have it as well. I love that this book has lots of great info, but it it presented in manageable chunks and has visual depictions also. This book was much more relatable than others I've read, since it was from the direct experience of someone diagnosed as an adult but also reflecting on her earlier experiences. It was also told in a much more conversational and friendly way, rather than a medical professional's perspective with a bunch of research citations.
Part 1 covers what ADHD is, the diagnosis, and what happens after. Part 2, the largest and my favorite section, is A Day With ADHD and goes through lots of things someone might do from waking up until going to sleep. It gives the author's experience related to the situation and then her advice. Part 3 is some helpful ADHD Hacks. I found the book to have a lot of practical and easily implemented suggestions. I do think that if someone had extremely severe ADHD the book would be too basic for them.
This is a great starting book for someone newly diagnosed, someone thinking they may have ADHD, and/or family and friends of those with ADHD to help better understand the disorder.

This book is going to help so many people! I loved it! Visually stunning with such great advice throughout.
