Summary:

"From the social media sensations and mental health advocates Cate Osborn and Erik Gude comes a modern and refreshingly honest guide to managing ADHD for adults. ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in adults. With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, there's a huge gap between lived experiences and straightforward information. Enter Cate Osborn and Erik Gude, ADHD advocates and educators and hosts of the wildly popular podcast Catie and Eric's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure. They have witnessed this info gap firsthand in their own lives and in the flood of questions they regularly field from their millions of social media followers. Irreverent, indispensable, candid, and reassuring, Cate and Erik don't paper over the realities of neurodivergence. They give it to you straight. Featuring the most up-to-date foundational information, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, and the healthcare system. Ingeniously structured and designed to be accessible for neurodivergent readers." -- Provided by publisher.
