Unabridged Audiobook
I got this audiobook for my young nephew, who has ADHD and he's happy with it. He said that it’s like it was written just for him. He’s always struggled with managing his time and staying organized, and at times, I could see that he looked overwhelmed. Once he told me that he felt like no one really understood what he was going through. He appreciates that the the author discussed ADHD in an interesting way, that is also relatable to him. He also told me he liked how it didn’t try to “fix” him but gave him tools to work with his ADHD at his own pace. I am really glad to see how my nephew seemed more confident and capable these days.
This audiobook, directed at teenagers and young adults with ADHD, provides quick, snappy strategies and techniques for strengthening executive functioning. The executive functioning addressed includes time management, emotional regulation, preventing procrastination, staying organized, and making decisions. The presentation style is subtle humor, plenty of examples, and short, easy-to-digest nuggets of good advice. The sections on communication and partnering with parents and teachers to stand up for yourself and advocate for what you need to do your best are very impressive. A good read for any young person with ADHD (and their parents and educators).
Back when I was a middle school teacher, I worked with dozens of students with ADHD, each one brilliant and capable in their own unique way. However, I often felt helpless watching them struggle with organization, time management, and self-doubt. This book is exactly what I wish I had on my shelf all those years. "Executive Functioning & ADHD for Teens and Young Adults" stands out from other ADHD resources because it speaks directly to young people in their language, without talking down to them or trying to "fix" them. The no-nonsense approach and practical strategies resonate perfectly with the teenage mindset. It's refreshing to see a guide that celebrates neurodiversity while providing actionable tools for success. I also really enjoyed listening to the narrator, their voice was so easy to listen to and did a great job at keeping my attention. I highly recommend this audiobook to any neurodivergent child who is looking to master their ADHD and use it as a superpower, or like me anyone who is a teacher or knows young-adults who are currently struggling with ADHD as there is a whole section that the author aptly includes to help neurodivergent individuals master their ADHD. Such a great listen.
I'm blown away with the quality of this book. The author speaks directly to the reader and is relatable to both parents and teenagers. I really wish I had had this book years ago when my grandchild with ADHD was born. We knew by age three that neurodiversity existed for her. Now she is a teenager, and I will have this book in her hands ASAP, and of course, suggest her parents read it. The book allows kids with ADHD to understand that they are normal and amazing. They understand that they think a little differently, but there is nothing they cannot do. Such a strong and supportive message in the book. The author interjects stories and humor that make the book easy to read and not boring for a teenager. She addresses executive function for the teens that can help than immediately and is simple and straightforward. The narration is excellent. I never became bored or distracted. Grab this book! Give it to your teens and their parents. It will change your life.
