ABOUT
Written by someone diagnosed late in life, this insightful memoir layers the author's personal experiences with practical revelations on issues common to those living with this condition, including growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, living with it as an adult, and frank discussions about the struggles and obstacles involved.
Cynthia Hammer knew she had problems with focus, concentration, and memory dating back to childhood, but it was not until age 49 that she was finally diagnosed with inattentive ADHD. Initially crushed by the news, the truth of her condition enabled her to slowly accept its challenges and learn ways to reduce its negative effects through new behaviors and habits. Now able to live life fully, even to the point of finding humor and benefits in having ADHD, Living with Inattentive ADHD combines her struggles, successes and insights into one powerful and probing memoir.
ADHD profoundly affects every aspect of a person's daily life and emotional well-being. Living With Inattentive ADHD is your guide through this winding journey—a "circular staircase"—with research-backed recommendations and advice given on everything from diagnosis, prescriptive medication, health habits, common problem areas and solutions, and more.
This insightful, candid, and ultimately redemptive recounting broadens the public’s understanding of ADHD and celebrates the resilience and fortitude of those who confront its significant challenges. The message in this book is as profoundly empowering as it is optimistic—that those with ADHD, as well as their loved ones, have the ability to thrive and find contentment.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
