Book Review: Succeeding with Adult ADHD by Abigail Levrini, PhD

Rating: 4 stars of 5

I have been on a quest to find good books about adult ADHD, particularly as it manifests in women, since I received my own diagnosis at the end of 2022. So many of the ADHD books I have read thus far have either been blatantly condescending and off-putting (I’m looking at you Russell Barkley), have focused on a stereotypical, adolescent white boy manifestation of ADHD that I find completely unrelatable in my own lived experience, or have offered so little information that I have found them thoroughly unhelpful.

Succeeding with Adult ADHD is the first I have come across that I would actually recommend to other adult-diagnosed women without reservation. While a lot of the information and tips in it might feel familiar to a late-diagnosed person who has been doing their own research for a while and has already learned how to cope with their symptoms just through living and figuring out what works for them, I do think the book offers a solid understanding of ADHD, how it can manifest, and some of the tools that can be helpful for people who have it.
