I almost named this book the wrong thing.

I almost named this book the wrong thing.

(and it would have put off an ADHDer like me)

"ADHD Assets" wasn't my first choice.

The working title was all about symptoms.

Like every other ADHD book.

I wanted something that sounded more... credible.

But this didn't feel right either ⬇️

→ Most resources talk about what's wrong.
→ Symptoms. Deficits.
→ Things to fix.

Assets aren't the opposite of symptoms.

They're a different lens entirely.

It's not pretending ADHD is easy.
More like naming what's working.
Just... differently.

I'm not saying the reframe is "you're fine".
But surely "this is how your nervous system works" is more helpful
(+ actually correct).

I rewrote the title a million times.

To get that distinction right.

The language we use shapes how we see ourselves.

"Assets" matters because it's truth, strength and grace.
