how to adhd is a great book. So is her you tube channel. Other you tubers I would recommend with their books re: the holderness family (book is adhd is awesome), and adhd_love (books are small talk and dirty laundry). FYI: they read their own audiobook versions. I bought them all on audible.

I was born in 1981. This is (more or less) the time you really started hearing about learning issues. The stigma will (I hope not) always be there. It isn't just the general public that views us as stupid. It's our own families/family that views us that way too. They're the first people that react a certain way that leads us to believe that we're not capable of achieving a certain high level of success. I've seen (with my own eyes) that the jobs that are offered to people with learning issues are jobs that don't pay very well/not really good benefits, etc. Basically, what others call the crappy jobs (ex: janitors, teachers aid/assistants, people working in the cafeteria, house cleaners, maids, etc). The day that our family/families and society let us get the jobs that we want so that we can become financially independent is the day that people with learning issues would stop trying to kill themselves.
