Author Support Understanding ADHD

A book is not just something we can add to our bucket list. It has the power to be a standalone business or supplement your business. But to get it done, you need the power of focus. But in that there are many challenges for the neurodiverse individual.

As we delve into our Author Support series, we chat about one family’s struggle with ADHD and what they learned through the process. But it is not just for authors, it is for any creative person or manager who finds themselves working with neurodiverse individuals.
