Darkly funny, relatable and unflinchingly honest,

Is it My ADHD? gives irreverent and intersectional

insight into what life is like for women living with

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Much like the 3-4% of the British population with

ADHD, Grace Timothy always felt on the outskirts

of 'normal'. After a lifetime of mental and physical

symptoms that didn't quite add up, she was finally

diagnosed in 2021.

At the time, information was scant. Now,

neurodivergence is the hot topic on everyone's lips.

With this increased awareness, we've encountered

a new challenge: how can we circumnavigate the

misinformation and better understand our own brains?

Writer and podcaster Grace Timothy speaks to those

living with ADHD to explore traits specific to women,

grounding each chapter in clinical research and

expert commentary. Offering comfort and real, triedand-tested tips along the way, this book is for anyone

who's ever wondered, is it my ADHD?

Grace Timothy is a lifestyle writer who has previously contributed to Vogue, Glamour, Sunday Times Style, Grazia, Red and Stylist, and now freelances from her home in Sussex. Grace is also a brand consultant specialising in fashion, beauty and helping companies better support neurodivergent customers and staff, and the host of the Is It My ADHD podcast. Since being diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, she has been on a mission to spread awareness of the true lived experience of ADHD in women and non-binary people, in whom ADHD is so often missed, thanks to the fact that the diagnostic criteria and research is so heavily skewed to the white male case study.
