My two favorite books to recommend, and both are good audio books, are “Faster Than Normal” and “ADHD 2.0” when people ask because they are very positive I think, the latter being more science oriented and interesting to know more of the why, both are great though. FTN has a lot of good stories that describe things well, it’s often the one I tell NT people to read to understand how my brain works as well! Another good one I enjoyed was Order From Chaos, lots of good “real life” stories in that one like having a doom room of stuff haha.
ADHD 2.0 is great. I read it recently and recommended it to my wife and she liked it a lot too. It had a lot of interesting details that I hadn't considered previously.
Yeah! It had a bunch of “wait not everyone does that?” moments for me haha.
It sounds like 2.0 might be what I'm looking for. Thanks!
