Is It My ADHD?: Navigating life as a neurodivergent adult

"Darkly humorous, relatable and unflinchingly honest, Is it My ADHD? gives irreverent insight into what life is truly like for women and those assigned female at birth who are living with ADHD. Much like the 3-4% of the British population with ADHD , Grace always felt on the outskirts of 'normal' but could never express why. When she was finally diagnosed in 2021, information on ADHD in women was scant. Now, neurodivergence is the hot topic on everyone's lips, and with the increased awareness, we've encountered a new challenge: how can we circumnavigate the misinformation and better understand our own brains? In Is It My ADHD?, writer, journalist and podcaster Grace Timothy speaks to experts and those living with ADHD about what life is truly like as a neurodivergent adult, offering support, comfort and advice along the way, as well as providing the reader with tools to understand what ADHD really is. With expert help, this book will bust the myths, offer helpful guides to different aspects of ADHD and give key insight into the lived experience of ADHD, exploring the common - and not so common - symptoms and traits specific to the women and those assigned female at birth, taking into account the various intersections of race, gender, culture and age."

Mum Face: The Memoir of a Woman who Gained a Baby and Lost Her Sh*t

"In this wry, resonant and darkly funny memoir, journalist Grace Timothy explores a question most women will face at some point: if becoming a mother means the person you were before has gone; who exactly is left in its place? Best described as The Wrong Knickers for mums, in Mum Face Grace explores motherhood as an issue of identity. What begins as shock and then denial of how your life will change has to become acceptance when you’re too big to walk/waddle/work; you’re fully repurposed now; you’re a mum, in everything you do, and everyone knows it. From the physical and emotional changes you encounter to the way your agenda and daily life is altered, your identity is constantly up for redefinition. As the friends and colleagues who shape and support your sense of self slip away, work dwindles as every hour becomes a moment you should be with your child, and your confidence is knocked by the constant feedback from everyone, you try and fit in everywhere – old life, new life – and don’t fit anywhere. It’s the identity crisis that no woman is immune to, belying the credo that being a mother is the most natural thing a girl could do. Grace has experienced mum rage, mom jeans, mum-tum, mum-hair and had to put on her mum face to cope with it all. These are the truths of motherhood too uncomfortable to flow forth at your NCT meet-ups. From bad sex, messed-up friendships and irretrievable labia to questioning everything and everyone around you. The hilarious book follows Grace’s journey from a young married woman at the top of her editorial game in London, to a thirty-something mum, confused as to how she can love someone as much as her daughter and yet feel lost as a person. Compulsively readable, irresistibly written and incredibly well-observed, Grace Timothy’s searingly-honest account of motherhood is essential reading for every mum trying to find their way after the mother of all identity crises."
