Scatter Brain by Shaparak Khorsandi
'Hilarious, unflinching, wise' - Sara Pascoe 'Intensely personal, highly educational and very funny' - Adam Kay 'Some brains, through no fault of their own, pack a bag, turn the lights off and run away to the seaside the moment they are meant to be doing homework, paying bills or not putting the cat in the fridge. These are ADHD brains. I have one and believe they are as common as being left-handed, flat footed or genuinely enjoying anchovies on a pizza. Undiagnosed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder made my life a frustrating, maddening rollercoaster. I had very little focus except when I was hyper-focusing (and then it would always be on the wrong things), I made the same mistakes over and over again, regularly burning myself out until I was sobbing. When I finally was diagnosed in my 40s it felt like the lights had been turned on after a lifetime in the dark.' Join much-loved comedian Shaparak Khorsandi as she looks back on her life through the lens of ADHD and finally makes sense of the chaos. From discovering the joys of shoplifting through to finally understanding her attraction to toxic men, Scatter Brain will have you laughing (and crying) as you find out what it's really like to live a life out of control. Whether you suspect you might have ADHD or you're just here for the ride, let Shaparak take you on her heartbreaking and hilarious journey of self-discovery where you just might learn something useful about yourself too!'This is an intensely personal, highly educational and very funny exploration of ADHDIn Khorsandi's own words - 'For God's sake, finish it.'' * Adam Kay *
'Behold ADHD in all its random, funny, debilitating, overwhelming, creative, destructive, (and brilliant) overwhelmingness. Bravo Shappi!' * Rory Bremner *
'A kind, helpful and hilarious guide to neurodiversity told as only Shappi can tell it - required reading for all' * Jenny Eclair *
