“A lively, approachable way to befriend your ADHD and thrive!”
—Melissa Orlov, author of award-winning The ADHD Effect on Marriage

May We Have Your Attention Please? will help you to conquer your adult ADHD — in a way that’s right for you.

This practical and engaging workbook uses cutting-edge research and lessons from working with thousands of adults with ADHD, as shared by specialists with extensive professional — and sometimes personal — experience managing the disorder.

Through digestible chapters and practical exercises you will:
- Learn how your brain works to leverage your ADHD for strength.
- Discover practical, hands-on activities to separate yourself from your symptoms.
- Find an approach to treatment that works for you.

You’ll share your journey with Jason, Candace, Tim and Amy: four characters embarking on different journeys through ADHD. Each will inspire you to see past mental health symptoms and boldly take ownership of your personal wellbeing. They represent resilience, growth, optimism and strength.

Life is not linear: neither is working through ADHD. May We Have Your Attention Please? will lead you to a place of clarity and purpose, to live with, not in spite of, your ADHD.

May We Have Your Attention Please? is brought to you by Springboard Clinic: offering innovative approaches to ADHD care since 2009. Looking to stay on track or enhance your reading experience?
