Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s a pick for the right reader. There‘s a valuable message about inherent worthiness and the moral neutrality of a tidy home (no “cleanliness is next to godliness” here). Plus, some practical tips for how to start, or even just tackle the most crucial things, when overwhelmed. But it wasn‘t exactly what I needed, at least not beyond the reminder of how much work I need to do in shedding my perfectionism and separating my motivation from shame.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I discovered the How To ADHD YouTube channel after my son‘s recent diagnosis. The channel is full of information that is well-researched and presented in a digestible, friendly way. This book felt more geared to adults, as opposed to children, and I am so grateful to have read it.

I like this idea from @Karisimo to share more #MiddleGrade reads!

Button Pusher is a memoir driven graphic novel about growing up with ADHD. It provided a personal perspective that has helped me be even more understanding of some of my students.

I read The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl a while ago but remember loving it. Lucy is a math genius with OCD tendencies attending middle school for the first time.

This book is perfect.

3.5/5⭐ This book is a combination of specific helpful info/advice, generic unhelpful info/advice, simplistic idealism, implementable practicality, personal memoir, and wonderful validation. I loathe the new trend of books putting their citations and resources lists on a website; they should be printed in the book, full stop. #doublespin

0/5⭐ I feel horrible for the ADHDer who is subject to these methods.

The part that broke me: “Better [your college kid] should run out of clothes once a week and then stand staring at the dryer in their bathrobe, totally focused, because they are hungry and need clothes to enter the dining hall.“
