I was diagnosed with ADHD at 42. One year ago. I’ve struggled for half my life wondering what was wrong with me. Why can’t I make decisions, why do I cry and stress over something small, why do I have so many hobbies and interests but never seem to succeed in one, why do I feel I’m in a bubble and time travel, there are more questions and this book, this book….has them all.

Not just questions but legit advice with cute, relatable illustrations, which, if you get it, HELP A LOT. the structure of the book literally made for people with ADHD. First it explains, then it has a glossary of terms, you know to help us process what we just read. Did I mention with illustrations? Then it has A Day with ADHD. Amazing. It goes from waking up to going to bed with advice on our daily struggles. I’m a high school librarian and I absolutely want teens and YA to read this. I feel so many young adults (and adults) can relate and feel seen with this book. The advice will surely help anyone struggling with ADHD, and also make one feel that they can get through a day feeling better and motivated. That’s how I felt after reading it!!

For those with Adhd as adults or diagnosed as a child this book will definitely resonate with you. For those wanting to learn more about Adhd this is a helpful read.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this ARC. As someone who is navigating a possible late in life ADHD diagnosis, this author’s Instagram page has been very helpful and having all the information in one helpful book is amazing. I will defining be going back to read this over and over again!!

Thank you @netgalley @chroniclebooks and Alice Gendron for providing me with a copy of the Mini ADHD Coach for review.

This is a super cute book. Alice incorporates her wonderful illustrations throughout the pages and tells so much of the content through them.

As a fellow Adult ADHDer this was very helpful at validating my experiences. I have read a few textbook/detailed ADHD self help books but none of them actually struck my core behaviours/experiences. There were numerous occasions throughout this book that I click for the first time that certain things that I did (or find difficult to do) could actually be linked to my ADHD.

I think that materials produced by lived experience creators hold such a powerful place in the literary world but can sometimes become a bit patronizing to readers that 'just haven't sorted their mess of a life out by making their bed every morning yet'. This book does not do that and it constantly comes from a place of love, support and curiosity.

Now, it is brief. It is not a detailed guide and it is the sort of book you find sitting on the top row at a department sort for the '150 happiness tips' that are smaller than A5 print. But that is its market and it hits that target very well.

Very cute, and wonderful for people who are just learning about ADHD in general. The layout is very neurodivergent-friendly, having not only headings, but small paragraphs of text with summative comics.

I actually follow Alice on Instagram and so when I saw this book, I knew I needed to read it! Her combination of illustrations and tips have been really helpful to me. I liked that this book explains ADHD types, how you get diagnosed, common issues and then awesome tips and solutions. I could totally see getting this for people in my life to explain why I am the way I am. I will definitely be taking some of the tips and implementing them! I also enjoy how she incorporates her own story and later in life diagnosis. I received an advance review copy for free and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.

The Mini ADHD Coach is a great resource for anyone with an ADHD diagnosis, supsects they might have ADHD, or whose loved one was diagnosed. It explains a lot about ADHD and how it makes someone else's brain work differently. It's full of useful tips for overcoming the challenges of ADHD.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review!

As someone who has been wondering if they have ADHD and works with many students every year who have been formally diagnosed with ADHD (or show strong signs of it), this book is perfect. It's really easy to read straight through, but also skimmable. I love the TL;DRs at the end of each chapter so that my memory is refreshed about what I just read.

It's a really reassuring read if you're struggling with ADHD or similar symptoms. I can't wait to buy a physical copy to keep in my classroom!

This has a pretty fun art style and good advice. It definitely makes it easier to digest the information and makes if pretty memorable.

This was a great little read with graphics and a fun setup. Nothing in it was groundbreaking, however I think it addressed ADHD in a manageable way and gave great little synopsis' and tips.

This is a perfect little guidebook that gives all the details needed to self-diagnose, understand, and support others with ADHD. The cute illustrations and the infographics are so easy to read and understand. I will definitely draw upon this book in the future to help myself and to support my family members with ADHD.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! It was full of helpful tips and relatable stories. Not to mention adorable illustrations to really drive the point home. I'll definitely be suggesting this to all of my friends and family with ADHD. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital ARC of this book in exchange for a review.

Received an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a great quick read on ADHD. It helps explain what ADHD is, what common symptoms are, how it affects areas of life, and that provides some tips that can help manage some symptoms. Throughout there are cute illustrations which explain concepts or show examples, which helps break up the reading in a very ADHD friendly manner. This would be a great book for those with ADHD, those in the process of being identified, people with family members with ADHD, or even those who just want to learn more.

This book is such a cool tool for anyone suffering from ADHD, or of any parents whose kids have it. I think it’ll come in handy with helping my son navigate through his first year of middle school, and it helped me understand my husband’s mindset a little more.

I thought this book was a very cute and was an easy format for people with and people without ADHD to understand. I also loved that they had common words in the ADHD world and explained what they mean. My only complaint is that I wish there was more information.

the doodles in this book were great and there wasn't too much dialogue on every page which was something i was nervous about when i saw how long it was... as a person with ADHD i saw the length and thought "how is this a MINI anything?" but it was straight to the point and simple
i felt very seen at almost all of the illustrations in this book as i have a lot of the same experiences in my ADHD that the author does
this is a great book for someone who thinks they may have an ADHD diagnosis or was recently diagnosed- there's lots of great tips

I have ADHD and I have to say this was a beautiful book. I highly recommend this to everyone with ADHD or to everyone that knows someone with ADHD

As someone diagnosed with Adult ADHD, The Mini ADHD Coach by Alice Gendron was a revelation for me. This inclusive guide delves into the diverse aspects of ADHD, offering valuable insights into its types, symptoms, and common misconceptions. Gendron's supportive voice and relatable illustrations make this a must-have resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of ADHD and how to thrive with it.

The book is thoughtfully divided into three sections, each offering practical advice. ADHD 101 provides a comprehensive overview, covering everything from types of ADHD to emotional processing after diagnosis. A Day With ADHD takes us through daily activities, illuminating how ADHD can impact even the simplest tasks. This section truly resonated with me, as I saw similarities between the author's experiences and my own.

The final section, ADHD Hacks, offers practical tips and tricks for managing the challenges of ADHD and bringing more structure into our lives. The cute illustrations add a touch of charm and relevance to the topics discussed. Overall, The Mini ADHD Coach is an empowering and insightful read.

LOVE this fresh perspective on adhd and how relatable the author is. I follow on Instagram and love their posts.

This book was phenomenal. I just recently started noticing certain things within myself that related to other people with ADHD, so I wanted to read this book to learn more about it. Little did I know I'd relate to just about every single page in here. And it was great too, how it was set up, because it split up the most important notes with graphics, and then went into more detail on how to help with those specific areas. So not only can you kind of pick and choose the areas you feel you need the most help in, but it also made the book less intimidating to take on. I feel like from just this book alone, people can learn so much, whether they don't have it and want the information, think they might have it but aren't sure (like me), and people who do and need help managing it. So good.
