Just Diagnosed with Adult ADHD? Your 30-Day First-Steps Playbook

What's inside

You just got the ADHD diagnosis that finally explains twenty years of feeling like you were trying harder than everyone else just to keep up — and now you have no idea what to actually do first. This 30-Day First-Steps Playbook gives you the exact sequence: what to ask your doctor, how to handle the medication conversation, what to tell (or not tell) your job, and which daily systems actually stick for an ADHD brain.

What's inside

• How an ADHD brain actually handles time, reward, and follow-through — in plain English, no jargon
• The six questions worth bringing to your next doctor's appointment
• A real walkthrough of the medication conversation: what stimulants vs. non-stimulants actually weigh, and how to track your first month
• A fillable "Build Your External Brain" systems worksheet — the smallest system you'll actually keep using
• The disclosure decision: your actual rights around a workplace accommodation request, remote or in-office
• How to tell your partner, family, and the people closest to you without it becoming a bigger conversation than it needs to be
• A named, worked example of redesigning a chaotic morning routine around an ADHD brain
• Clear signs you need more support than a planner can give, plus where to find it
