Summary

Everything—and nothing—changed once Emma Mahony was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifty-two.

In Better Late Than Never she seeks to reduce the stigma around diagnosis as an adult, and provides support for anyone who finds themselves in the same situation or thinks they may suffer from ADHD. Offering helpful advice alongside Emma's experience, subjects covered include:

- Seeking diagnosis later in life

- Getting a diagnosis

- How ADHD can present and how it varies between men and women

- Medication and self-medication

So much can be done to help sufferers of ADHD. This book will help you to survive and to thrive.

This book is just brilliant

This is the first book I have listened to about ADHD after getting diagnosed 2 years ago at the age of 40.
This book has helped me so much, I don’t know anyone with ADHD and it’s the first time I have felt so close to what someone is saying and feeling!
I nodded and smiled and said ‘me too’ a lot through this book.
So worth a listen to

common sense approach to ADHD

i have long tried to find some easily understood information. although this is written predominately with middle age female in mind so much is appeopriate for male as well. my grandson of 37 has recently been re diagnosed ADHD (adult) having been diagnosed at the age of 5 as a child. i refused him Ritalin due to being a nurse and with it being a new drug was unsure of long term side effects. i battled all the 'naughty' child issues and under achievment. (i bought him up) he has now as an adult received his diagnosis and the relevent medication . he feels as if the foggy weather of his life has finally cleared. maybe this book should be a compulsory read in teacher training. and perhaps included in secondary school carriculum. . re the genetic issue. i said to a friend once 'i wish i knew where he got his energy' her response .."have you looked in the mirror lately!!'
