Now It All Makes Sense: How An ADHD Diagnosis Brought Clarity To My Life

Reading this before my own adhd testing in July and planning on using his words to help compile my evidence and hoping for the best 👌. For me labels 🏷 are like puzzle pieces I didn’t know where missing that slid into place. I didn’t feel broken anymore, there were explanations for different things throughout my life and some weight was off my soul. Alex has a very soothing presence in his videos and this book (his other one will be coming in the mail next week and I plan on requesting my library to buy his books) as well.. his way of explaining things was just... very easy to digest and some made me think. I'm gonna try to put his adhd hacks to use and see how they go (as funds allow). This is a book that will help alot of people and that makes my soul happy. Some very good points are made to to certain things people say to people with adhd that had me smiling and mentally high fiving him. Thanks Alex 👍🏼 🫂

Despite the age difference, which, hey sometimes it makes a difference. Alex is AWESOME, he describes his own personal journey with ADHD leading up to the book and SO-SO MUCH is SO RELATABLE !!! I haven't finished it yet. As a late diagnosis and a lot of sudden changes in life. It'll definitely be a book I'm reading cover-cover to help myself and the ones in my life. To be able to connect and to communicate with the ones you love, to get to know the real you. He has so many helpful hints, talked to so many experts in the field of ADHD, other people who struggles with ADHD. I am also hoping to learn how to love myself, give myself patience, compassion and allow myself to heal. I know the more I heal, the better I person I become. Healing starts with yourself. Alex also has a pod cast. Which is also so very helpful. 🙏 Many, many Blessings to Alex and all those who have ADHD or any other mental illnesses. And to ALL those who help and support the one's you love 🙏 💜🙏🩵 To those who wished to or would love to help someone in your life, to know and understand the Who, What, How to help and have helpful solutions and directions, This Book is SHORT, SWEET, SIMPLE, and HEARTWARMING 💜🩵💜🩵💜

As a mom of a boy with (undiagnosed) ADHD, "Now It All Makes Sense" has been so eye opening! There are so many instances the author refers to that help me understand where my son is coming from. A lot I already knew from being a teacher, but some of the behaviors I see completely baffle me. Now I can empathize and help rather than get irritated. The book is worth every penny and I love the way he explains the ADHD tax. I've actually started saving receipts so that I can return shiny new things that go unopened after we bring them home from the store. Fantastic read and practical advice!!

This book offers a realistic glimpse into what nuanced ADHD symptoms and habits look like in day-to-day life. It's accessible and easy to read and digest. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I was hoping Alex would dive more into running a business and some of his stories/personal history/etc. as an entrepreneur. Instead, the book focuses on all aspects of his life, which is interesting, but I was also hoping to get more insight into how he started and scaled his businesses. Great read overall.

I ran across Alex in a reel while doom-scrolling a year ago. I binged on his content reel-after-reel for the next hour and felt my life implode because I too had experienced everything he described for the past 50 years. Everything. Now, everything makes sense, and everything got better for me because I quit hiding. For me, Alex's book is a continuation into understanding how a mentally overactive ADHD life feels. Within the first few pages I burst into tears many times because what Alex shared cracked open some distant painful memory. To be honest, I'm not sure how I made it this far without a proper diagnosis. Sure, I could pick out a few areas in the book that didn't feel quite finished. But everything else does feel well rounded because it resonates so well with me. Sure, not everything he suggests would work for me or my partner. But a lot of it does. And most importantly it works for me and the relationship I have with myself. Sure, I would love to read more about how Alex's life started, became overwhelming, and crushed his soul. But, that's only the start. It's equally important to see what happened and how things are better for him today. While I understand where those criticisms come from, I can immediately dismiss them because of the fundamental need of ADHD to share the experience. And that is probably the best summary of both my life and Alex's book. You are welcome to criticize because you don't agree, now let me share my experience. And if that review makes sense to you, you owe it to yourself to read Now it all Makes Sense.

I have a niece that has just been diagnosed with Adult ADHD. This book “Now it all Makes Sense” absolutely helped me understand what my 50 year old niece has been going through her whole life. It helps explain so much about her behavior that I thought was so inappropriate at times. As the title says, Now it all makes sense! I have been able to gain so much more empathy for my precious niece and realize the struggles she has had her whole life. I would recommend this book to everyone that works with people, you never know when a ADHDer is hiding in plain sight!

This book is magic. Alex is able to say things I thought for a long time, but in a way that you can understand he’s easy to read and the content makes you wanna flip the page quickly. I can’t see enough good things about this book if you have ADHD in our learning more about yourself this book is it must have I just know you’ll love it.

Easy to follow & extremely informative.

When you’re a person who was diagnosed with ADHD at 35 years old and have had so many mental health issues, this comes as a hug, reassurance that you’re not alone and that you’re okay with your way of being. Thank you so much for sharing and helping with this amazing book.

Just a series of the author's personal anecdotes. Nothing really serious or insightful

Such a saviour of the soul. From a life of wrong to now a life of just different.

Ho acquistato questo libro con grandi aspettative, anche in virtù del prezzo, ma purtroppo ne sono rimasto deluso. Mi aspettavo un testo pratico e informativo sull’ADHD, invece il contenuto si concentra prevalentemente sulla biografia personale dell’autore, risultando ripetitivo e poco utile. Mancano approfondimenti concreti e consigli efficaci per chi cerca supporto o strategie per convivere con questo disturbo. Per questi motivi, ritengo che il libro non meriti più di 2 stelle.

But not only tells me why I am the way I am, but it gives me tools to find solutions in everyday struggles. It’s hard to believe how much a book has helped me navigate through the struggles of having ADHD.
