Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that is caused by differences in one's brain. Children with autism will often have repetitive or restricted interests and behaviors, as well as troubles with social interaction and communication.

Nobody wakes up one day and decides they want to have an eating disorder. And eating disorders are certainly not about getting attention or vanity. It is not a “lifestyle” or “choice” you make. Depression and/or anxiety often coexist with an eating disorder, making it all the more problematic. Experts believe those who suffer with eating disorders have a chemical imbalance in their brain with a lack of serotonin.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Also known as ADHD) presents itself in three main symptoms: inattention and hyperactivity or impulsivity. Hyperactivity and impulsivity are closely related and oftentimes coexist with inattention. Women and girls with ADHD most often go undiagnosed for several reasons.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (also known as ADHD) is a disorder that occurs in kids, teens, and adults. This book focuses on what exactly ADHD looks like in adults.

Understanding ADHD in Women provides years of research that proves why medical professionals no longer believe that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a condition only found in young, school-aged boys, as it was once believed.

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a medical condition which affects how your brain processes sensory information, or stimuli.

ADHD symptoms add consistent and predictable problems to any marriage in which one or both partners have the condition.

Relationship Series: Gaslighting in Relationships and How ADHD Affects Relationships is a two-part series with two subjects that are closely intertwined. Adults with ADHD are actually more vulnerable and susceptible to gaslighting due to their already low self-esteem and need to please people. This series focuses on relationships for both those with ADHD and those that suffer from a gaslighting abusive relationship. Each audiobook does an excellent job of defining their topic and going into greater detail of exactly what is meant from either gaslighting or ADHD.

Medical professionals are now seeing that inattentive ADHD is just as severe as the hyperactive/impulsive type, if not more so, and it is also likely to carry on into adulthood. Because women often suffer with the inattentive form of ADHD, we often go undiagnosed until adulthood, and that is why we need more help in adulthood managing our symptoms. These books can give you the exact tools that you need!
