Tip of the ADHD Iceberg

An adult's guide to embracing the hidden layers of your neurodivergence

By: Dr Samantha Hiew

Narrated by: Dr Samantha Hiew

A compassionate guide for everyone grappling with their neurodiversity

Getting diagnosed with ADHD causes quite the life shake-up, particularly when the diagnosis comes later in life. Suddenly, so many 'truths' you once accepted about yourself start to unravel.

Your ADHD doesn't exist in a vacuum: your upbringing, your culture, your relationships and any other conditions you might have, such as autism, depression or anxiety, all affect your experience as a neurodiverse individual. Navigating these intersecting areas can be challenging - but it isn't impossible.

Tip of the Iceberg offers a sensitive exploration of the nuances of neurodiversity, preparing you for the whirlwind that can come after a diagnosis and equipping you with the essential tools for self-advocacy.

In this book, ADHD Girls Founder Dr Sam Hiew expertly blends her lived experience of ADHD, autism, Tourette's and dyspraxia with her background in medical science to create a deeply empathetic guide to processing your diagnosis in the context of your whole life, from your personal relationships to the workplace environment.

Affirming, vindicating and empowering, you will learn to heal from a life of flying under the radar as well as how to prepare yourself for the road ahead.

Amazing comprehensive view on neurodiversity

This is the best book I have listened to on both neurodivergence and neurodiversity. Written with such compassion and understanding. I learned so much more about neurodivergence, and the author explains very well the complexities and challenges neurodivergent people face.

I really appreciate the inclusion of interdisciplinary experts and methods for self advocacy and healing from trauma and adverse experiences.

Changed my life

This book has transformed me in the best possible ways. If you are a woman, neurodivergent or not, this book will help you understand yourself more than you ever thought you could. And if you’re ADHD or ASD/ADHD (AuDHD) and going through hormonal changes especially menopause THIS IS YOUR GUIDE!!!! I am so thankful to have found this book.
