The Year I Met My Brain by Matilda Boseley

The quick cut: A look behind what it is like as an adult with ADHD, both the struggles, stories, and benefits.


A real review:

Being neurodivergent often means feeling like you're working against the odds. What would it be like though if you didn't find out until later in life? For Matilda Boseley, this is a reality when watching TikTok videos led to an ADHD diagnosis as an adult and a journey to learning to live with it.


I've been slowly losing weight for a year and a half now and recently started listening to audiobooks when I work out instead of music. This book ended up in my queue because I saw it on sale and wanted to do what I could to better support my ADHD friends. I'm so happy I picked this one up because it is full to the brim with knowledge!


Matilda manages to perfectly balance research, personal experiences, and musings about what she wish she knew sooner. It's impressive work and clearly she put in a significant effort and passion to make it that way. Hearing her speak her own words only further emphasizes that.


Whether you think you may be ADHD, want to support others you love who have it, or just want to learn about it - this is an excellent book on the topic. You walk away feeling empowered and wanting to better embrace who you truly are.


An amazing nonfiction book on ADHD diagnosis and adult life.

My rating: 5 out of 5
