The Mini ADHD Coach is a must read for anyone with a diagnosis of ADHD or supports a loved on with ADHD. The author approaches the book with facts, humor and tools for overcoming the challenges of ADHD. I particularly found her section of "ADHD Hacks" to be invaluable for anyone who struggles with various aspects of their lives, include relationships, executive functioning and even getting a good night of sleep. Both my adult children and my husband have ADHD and I plan to buy each of them this wonderfully supportive book to help them manage this very multi-faceted disorder.

This friendly little book is perfect for those with ADHD or for anyone with ADHD friends or family- isn't that all of us? This inclusive guide gives helpful tips for management of symptoms, impowerment for neurodiversity, and helps us all to better understand how the ADHD brain works.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

I follow Gendron's ADHD comics on Instagram, so I was already a fan of her cute-but-informative style. ADHD symptoms and their effects vary widely, so I was happy to find Gendron acknowledging that and sticking to her own experiences while providing a lot of useful hacks for those of us with ADD-led brains. (See what I did there?) It's a light and quick little book, so don't expect a ton of info, but what's presented is great.

I felt seen when reading this book. SEEN! The symptoms that Alice describes have hit close to home. She talks about why girls aren't diagnosed the way that boys are, and the modern tribulations that come when brains do not see clutter or have to harvest nervous energy. Alice's solutions also appear practical for when a mind does not want to complete the task at hand.

As a late diagnosed ADHD female, I loved this book. It was perfectly done, education, and the doodles were fun. They kept this ADHDer engaged! I would highly recommend to some of my friends who have similar diagnoses. I would love to have this on my bookshelf.

One of the most helpful books I've read on ADHD. My son was diagnosed, and I suspect I may have it as well. I love that this book has lots of great info, but it it presented in manageable chunks and has visual depictions also. This book was much more relatable than others I've read, since it was from the direct experience of someone diagnosed as an adult but also reflecting on her earlier experiences. It was also told in a much more conversational and friendly way, rather than a medical professional's perspective with a bunch of research citations.
Part 1 covers what ADHD is, the diagnosis, and what happens after. Part 2, the largest and my favorite section, is A Day With ADHD and goes through lots of things someone might do from waking up until going to sleep. It gives the author's experience related to the situation and then her advice. Part 3 is some helpful ADHD Hacks. I found the book to have a lot of practical and easily implemented suggestions. I do think that if someone had extremely severe ADHD the book would be too basic for them.
This is a great starting book for someone newly diagnosed, someone thinking they may have ADHD, and/or family and friends of those with ADHD to help better understand the disorder.

This book is going to help so many people! I loved it! Visually stunning with such great advice throughout.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this!
As someone who was diagnosed late in life with ADHD and teaches many ADHD students this book was incredibly helpful, not only in understanding my own diagnosis and how it affects me but better ways to communicate with my students and a resource to show them and their parents. Its bite sized, offers good information, and is packaged in a cute book with adorable graphics and pictures.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This book has some great tips and ideas on how to manage adhd and not let it overwhelm you.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC, the opinions that follow are my own.

I cannot thank you enough for granting me access to this ARC! As someone who wasn’t diagnosed until her 30s, reading this was so helpful! Informative and adorably illustrated, I will definitely be buying a copy for my mom and would recommend to any friend new to their diagnosis and looking for a well of self compassion.

✨ Review ✨ The Mini ADHD Coach: Tools and Support to Make Life Easier—A Visual Guide by Alice Gendron

This adorable book gives you bite-size chunks to help you understand ADHD and absorb tricks and tips to help you out. Filled with cute illustrations, lots of headings and sections, it seems like a book that'd be easy to pick up and put down as you have the attention for it. Many of the pages have just a handful of words -- making this super digestible and relatable.

So many of these pages were impactful. There's a page with a rainbow feelings wheel with how ADHD can effect emotions -- super straight forward and nothing revolutionary but it left me feeling seen that ADHD can affect emotions in different ways.

The book is filled with different hacks -- tools for working with your ADHD brain. Things like habit stacking, pomodoro method, working in batches -- many of these things were familiar to me but the book presented them in such an achievable way. Instead of giving you pages of text, it presented it in short blurbs with images and tips.

This also could be really great with a younger audience to explain how ADHD works and how you can understand it better but NOTE there is a section on sex. Of course, none of this replaces a doctor / medical care, but it has the potential to be a great resource for lots of people!

Thanks to Chronicle Books and #netgalley for an advanced e-copy of this book!

Excellent book for individuals to learn about ADHD symptoms and how to handle them. Quick and easy read for individuals with ADHD. The illustrations would be great for using in therapy sessions with clients. Definitely will add this to my collection of books on hand for therapy.

As an adult with ADHD I'm very away there is no easy solution or magic bullet. I found the book well organized and the information attractively presented. I definitely found some tips and tricks o well incorporate. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book, I look to adding strategies to my daily routines.

This is great for anyone that has just received diagnosis/or has recently self-diagnosed. It offers insight and tips on how to function in daily life.

The Mini ADHD Coach is a wonderfully informative read with an ADHD user friendly format. The information is presented clearly and the drawings throughout make it so fun! I have already utilized several tips and ideas from the book in my life and have noticed a huge difference. I am so excited for this to be on my shelf to reference whenever I need some encouragement or to refresh my brain. I think anyone with or without ADHD needs to read this book to help understand the hidden symptoms that cause daily hardships.

This was a super helpful, easy to read guide on the basics of ADHD which even included tips to incorporate into daily life to manage ADHD symptoms. With a social work/mental health background, I was pretty familiar with ADHD as an abstract concept but recently started realizing that a lot of the daily tasks/functions that I struggle with may be a result of adult ADHD. It's always encouraging to read another person's struggle when you can resonate so much. The cartoons throughout the guide were entertaining and relatable as well. There were so many specific tips that I've started to use when feeling overwhelmed and I highly recommend this book to anyone else struggling with symptoms of ADHD or to anyone who would just like to learn more about the diagnosis in general. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this ARC @netgalley and Alice Gendron!

Wow.

That was my first thought when I closed this book at the end.

As a mid-30s wife and mother who was diagnosed with ADHD recently, this little companion guide contained a wealth of knowledge and acceptance I wasn’t ready for. Written by someone with ADHD, you could tell. Part graphic novel to settle that ADHD fog and half engaging writing and I found myself focusing and absorbing so much information.

This is a MUST READ for anyone with ADHD. You’ll learn about different symptoms and stims and ways to help you take control of your life and diagnoses. The tone of the book is playful and calm rather than instructive which is so helpful! Like I said, you can tell this book is written by someone with ADHD for people with ADHD.

I was hoping this would be a fun/interesting look into ADHD, to make it relatable and easier to understand. But it ended up being super scientific and hard to digest.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and struggling to understand what that means and how I can find coping skills. This book was so useful to helping me understand my brain and how to work with it!

If you were able to get through this book with relative ease when you typically struggle with other books then you might have adhd. In a easy format with visuals and small chunks of relevant information instead of long paragraph, this book is a create way to find out if you have adhd, to learn more about adhd whether it be for you or someone you know who had adhd.
