books
The Art of Showing Up, Rachel Wilkerson Miller. Not specifically ADHD, but really helpful advice for taking care of yourself and others.
A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD, Michelle Frank and Sari Solden. Obviously v gendered, but I find the exercises to be truly very helpful, especially if early on in your ADHD dx.
Driven to Distraction, Edward Hallowell and John Ratey. This is the first ADHD book I ever read back in 2019. The revised version is best, very informative, but I will say it felt a lil dated when I read it.
