As a man in my late 50s, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago. This revelation came after a long and varied career, with my last position being in mortgage banking before I retired.

When I received my diagnosis, I was struck by the scarcity of information available for men my age dealing with ADHD. This lack of resources sparked a personal mission to understand my condition better and help others in similar situations.

Driven by my experiences and a desire to fill this information gap, I embarked on an extensive research journey into ADHD. I delved into understanding how it affects adults, particularly men in their later years, and explored various strategies for managing the condition effectively.

Drawing from my newfound knowledge and personal insights, I decided to write a non-medical self-help book. My goal was to provide a resource that I wish I had when I was first diagnosed - a guide written from the perspective of an adult man living with ADHD.

While I'm not a medical professional, my firsthand, life long experience with ADHD and my commitment to thorough research have allowed me to offer a unique viewpoint. My book aims to offer practical advice, coping strategies, and a sense of community to other men who might be feeling lost or confused after a late-life ADHD diagnosis.

Now in retirement, I've found a new purpose in advocating for greater awareness and understanding of ADHD in older adults, especially men. Through my writing and sharing of experiences, I hope to break down stigmas and provide support for those navigating this challenging yet manageable condition later in life.

ADHD: You're Not Alone is my first book. I'm currently working on my next book, also about ADHD but from a different perspective.
