Managing to reply to this juuuust before the end of #ADHDAwarenessMonth because... I have ADHD! Working on this book helped me reflect on my experiences and, after a LOT of forms and waiting lists, I now have a deeper understanding of my very own wonderful brain 😊🧠

Grateful for everyone @'d below ⬇️
It's #ADHDawarenessmonth and I couldn't let it go by without mentioning All Brains Are Wonderful! 🧠 I loved editing this brilliant book and working with @thereaderteacher.bsky.social , The Boy Fitz Hammond, @sciwithrach.bsky.social and @bsmallpublishing.bsky.social
