ADHD is Awesome…is Awesome!
ADHD is a very big part of our lives. We have extended family with ADHD, (I have recently begun to wonder if I have lived most of life with undiagnosed ADHD), we live at a school specializing in ADHD and our youngest son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Because of all these reasons I was dedicated to becoming an expert. I have ordered so many books and read so many articles and consulted physicians and therapists and websites and everything else. Lots of books are informative, but some of them will make you feel like you are living with a ticking time bomb.This book was so wonderful and so refreshing. It walked a very fine line of being realistic about the challenges of ADHD while still celebrating all the wonderful things that make someone with ADHD, real and beautiful and human.There are elements for people with ADHD and for loved ones who need to understand ADHD. There is good biological and clinical information but not so much that it becomes heavy like a textbook. It is humorous and energizing.Even the layout of the book makes it easy to read with ADHD: breakout sections, bright colors on the edges, illustrations, color coded boxes, checklists and sentences not starting on one page and continuing on the next are just a few of the touches that tell you this is written by someone who really understands what it means to live with ADHD. (And there’s an audiobook too!)I love the balance of humility and ownership of the challenges of ADHD/tips for accountability while also embracing the glorious gifts that ADHD can bring and truly embracing the diagnosis and making it into something to celebrate.Ever since we suspected that our son had ADHD we have fiercely rejected the stereotypes and standards that painted it as a life-ruining experience. We knew that our son had a sparkle brain that vibrated with magic and life and imagination and creativity. This book absolutely felt like a validation of that.ADHD is Awesome is an amazing gift to anyone who wants to better understand their own ADHD or the ADHD of someone they love. Everyone could get something out of this book.

Great to Read With Your Tween/Teen
I read this with my 12 year old son over the span of many weeks. He has ADHD, and I was looking for something we could read together that was accessible for his age rather than densely academic like so many books out there on the subject (which I have also read and appreciate). ADHD is Awesome includes short chapters, color-coded sections, photos, illustrations and diagrams, which kept us both engaged and made the content easy to digest. Pennâs tone throughout this book is positive and conversational, which is such a welcome and refreshing perspective, especially when reading it with a young person who is just starting to explore what having this diagnosis means for his life. Penn does not shy away from the difficult facets of ADHD, though. He keeps it real and honest, but does not stop at âthis is hardâ. He commiserates with the reader on the challenges but provides strategies for coping and handling those challenges.I also appreciated the notes from his wife, Kim, throughout the book. She provides anecdotes from a neurotypical perspective on points being made by Penn. There is also a section just for neurotypical caregivers and partners supporting people in their life with ADHD. Since my son and I were reading this book together, these parts gave us an opportunity to discuss our different perspectives on the points being made.Penn also recognizes that ADHD is a spectrum and he is, of course, writing from his own personal experience. This is easily understood from reading the introduction. He is also not a medical doctor, so he understandably does not go into great detail about medication; there are many other notable books you can read on that subject. This book is not academic; it is a real account of living with ADHD from one personâs perspective with helpful tips and strategies to try based on that perspective.Thank you, Penn and Kim Holderness, for creating this book. It was such a meaningful experience reading this with my son, and I know it has helped him understand himself better and given him a positive outlook on his diagnosis.

A great book to tackle the insights of ADHD. So fun to read. I’m going to read it with my son so he can better understand his ADHD just as I am better understanding mine. Would be a good book to share with neurotypicals who want to understand what ADHD is like through the lens of a family who deals with it. And in such a fun and vibrant way!Love it!

As a parent to a teenager with a recent ADHD diagnosis, I felt that I had most of the knowledge I needed for daily living. I knew of the Holderness family from their YouTube videos (his songs about ADHD are hilarious) so decided this book would be worth a read. There were lots of sections that we highlighted that became useful reminders or provided a better explanation of why our child thinks or behaves in a certain way.There is a small section that talks about getting school onside with support that was obviously American in terms of how the system works but don’t let that put you off, as it is easy to make the switch to English terms like EHCP rather than 504’s or IEP’s.
