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!

Contest is over, I replied to those who won. As my first time doing this I learned a lot, like don't post word-walls in an ADHD forum, keep it simple stupid, and do on. Hopefully this brought a little joy to folks in a community that brings me joy, I'm not funny enough to come up with the clever meme's I regularly see here but I do laugh and upvote frequently.

Thank you for letting me try to do this!

I doubt Jessica McCabe and her team know about Lemmy. This kind of reminds me of a fandom.

I'm not sure how to take that....!?

I would be happy if i got the book but i also don't want to give you my address or take it away from someone who needs it more when i can just pirate it . Anyway good for you for helping people hope you are not a shill.

My (more-or-less) unsung heroes would have to be my psychotherapists who, believe it or not, did not diagnose me with ADHD! They did tests on me, yes, but each time the results were inconclusive.

Only then did they help me realize how much fear and anxiety were playing a big part in my executive dysfunction. A part bigger than I could have imagined. It is those things that they helped me deal with and that has genuinely changed not only my life but also my outlook on it.

I still may be neurodivergent. But I will not let that fact be my identity, by leaning into it and thinking it's the source of all my problems. Instead they helped me learn how to be in control of my life more than ever :)

Good morning! Pixel Witch opted to give you the copy they won. So YOU WON :)

DM me and we'll start working through getting you a copy of the book, and there are techniques to help you find spoons within it but also stuff for our loved ones to be more understanding with our lack of spoons.
