What does it really feel like to grow up, learn, work and exist in a world that wasn't built for your brai? hy are so many of us struggling with shame, burnout and - statistically speaking - a suspicious number of parking tickets?'The recognition and validation is mind-blowing. I was reading Attention Seeker in floods of tears' Emma DabiriAttention Seeker is a groundbreaking, unfiltered exploration of ADHD - how it shapes lives across race, gender, and class, and why so many people are left undiagnosed and misunderstood. Drawing on research, lived experience and the realities of navigating ADHD in the UK today, Medland cuts through the myths and misinformation to uncover the truth. From education to employment, addiction to the criminal justice system, Attention Seeker reveals how ADHD intersects with power, privilege and oppression - and what needs to change. Ending with a bold anti-capitalist manifesto, Medland challenges everything we think we know about ADHD.
