Good morning fellow ADHDers,

I just read How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe (she has a fantastic YouTube channel as well and I wish I knew this stuff 20+ years ago. So I thought I’d give away copies to my favorite ADHD sub. I’m giving away ten copies in a contest. I’ve never done something like this before so I’ll probably mess it up or go ride bikes and forget, but it’ll be up for a week (hopefully pinned), and the replies with the most points get the book.

I’m happy to mail a physical copy, or an ebook or an audio book, your choice. I’m US based so a physical copy may be sketchy outside of the US but lets go for it.

How to get points: Reply and include some or more of the below.

Most upvotes: +1
Second most upvotes: +1
Newest reply when contest closes: +1
Most engagement/replies to a comment: +1
Quirky fake quote from the book: +1
Fake chapter title and summary from the book: +1
Meme of the book: +1
Fake book cover of the book: +1
ADHD character cosplay/art: +1 (dress up as your favorite ADHD person or post art of them, AI art counts!)
Wildcard challenge +1 (create your own challenge and get others to participate)
Unsung hero award +3 (share someone who has been an unsung hero for you and your ADHD challenges)

Have fun, and hope this doesn’t become a disaster…! I mean I was supposed to post this on Wednesday, but you know, ADHD…

EDIT: Multiple replies are cool, I’ll use a vlookup or something to merge them together!

    Whoever wins one of these is going to forget they won it, be surprised when it shows up, and place it somewhere they’ll “definitely remember”, lose it, forget again, and then find and read the entire thing in one sitting right in the middle of attempting to clean.

    My unsung hero is my son, he’s also ADHD and seeing how hard he works and how positive he is is great. He took 3 years off from high school to college to focus on getting ahead of his ADHDness and is now back in college and doing well. I wish I was as cool as him!

      Aw this is sweet. I hope he knows how you feel. And it’s so great to hear people doing things in the way that works best for them rather than how society seems it should be.

    Heads up for anyone using Spotify Premium: the audiobook is included in your subscription. I’m tight for cash and basically only consume books in audio form, so if you already subscribe to the service, you might as well take advantage of it.
