An uplifting guide to unlearning negative ADHD self-beliefs from bestselling viral duo @ADHD_Love

Are you your biggest fear-leader, constantly lamenting your wasted potential? You're not alone. Join the Sunday Times bestselling authors of DIRTY LAUNDRY to break free from negative self-talk, overcome self-hatred and live your most authentic and happy life.

The biggest struggle for those with ADHD is the negative self-talk they've internalised over a life time of trying to fit into a neurotypical world. In Small Talk, Rich and Rox examine the 10 biggest ‘neurospicy lies’. Drawing on the lived experience of living with ADHD and supporting a loved one with ADHD plus reflections from the @ADHD_Love community, Small Talk will help you big up yourself. Turn guilt and frustration into compassion; approach goals in ways that work for neurodiverse brains; better understand and empower neurodiverse people; and adopt ‘Spicy House Rules’ to create an environment of mutual support.

Praise for SMALL TALK

Pre ADHD diagnosis I read so many self development books. I used to try to implement what I learned and would feel like a failure, feel frustrated and blame myself for being lazy when I couldn’t get those strategies to work for me. Books like this are so important for people with ADHD to break free from holding our selves to Neurotypical standards.

Rach Idowu, 'Adulting with ADHD' Neurodivergency advocate

My whole life i’ve beaten myself up, comparing myself to my peers & wondering why i can’t handle life like them. but actually, ADHD has made me incredibly special, ambition, determined & capable of the most amazing things that others aren’t & for that, i think neurodiversity is a beautiful thing.

Becky Hill

A (self) love letter to those whose brains are beautifully and uniquely different. Speaking from lived experience, Rox and Rich manage to shift the paradigm associated with ADHD, which up until now has been riddled with lies and misinformation. This book reminds readers that rather than having a disorder, they are simply differently ordered and when managed with kindness, it can become their superpower!
