Are you a Teen or Young Adult with ADHD?
We know you exactly how you feel

“I know what it’s like to have ADHD: I have struggled, cried, screamed and yelled in frustration. I also know how it feels to win with ADHD, to overcome my fears, to ignore doubters and haters, and reject the stigma applied to ADHD.

 

I have been on a mission ever since to help young people with ADHD (“ADDYTeens”) thrive with self-confidence and to reject stigma! I self-published my first book “Embracing Your ADHD” when I was just 15 years old. During high-school and college, I mentored and coached kids with ADHD, worked with educators, therapists and doctors who treat ADHD, and kept writing about ADHD on my HuffPro blog.

 

Learning how to win with ADHD requires a lot of practice. It requires taking instruction, learning new ideas, hard work, patience, grit and perseverance. 

 

I have been there, and I can help.”  Grace Friedman

Winning with ADHD
I did it, so can you!

“Let’s face it, schools don’t teach ADDYTeens how to manage our ADHD. So often, our teachers, friends, even family don’t really understand what having ADHD is all about.  

 

Since 2012, I have been coaching and mentoring ADDYTeens to help them manage their ADHD. Using sports analogies, I developed a set of “PLAYS” which are practical steps for working through challenges, managing time, getting organized, communicating effectively, managing our emotions, and more.  

 

In 2016, I teamed up with Dr. Sarah Cheyette to write a book based on these PLAYS. Dr. Sarah is a noted San Francisco Bay Area Neurologist, author, and expert on ADHD. Together, we completed “Winning with ADHD” in 2018, when I was 21.  That same year, I also graduated college – in 4 years, on a scholarship and with honors.  

 

Following my PLAYS has made me a better student, a better friend and a tougher, stronger, more resourceful person.  Having ADHD is tough, I face challenges from my ADHD every day.  Winning with ADHD is not easy, but you can do it.”  Grace Friedman

Testimonials for
“Winning with ADHD”

"Twice the effectiveness in one book"

The combination of an author who has ADHD plus a pediatric neurologist who specializes in it packs twice the effectiveness in one book. Friedman presents her own experiences to the reader, while Cheyette provides the research. The book is written in a format that is palatable to people who may have found other books on ADHD a challenge to read through.”

Stephanie Sarkis PhD, Author: 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADHD: How to Overcome Chronic Distraction & Accomplish Your Goals

"A Gem"

“Wow, a book that is written for teens with ADHD, not about them or at them—in other words, a book that they will actually read. And they will be so much better off for spending some time with this gem, since the better they understand themselves, ADHD and all, the more successful and happier they will be. (You will also be happier, but don’t tell your teen that.)”

Ari Tuckman, PsyD Psychologist, author, public speaker, advocate, and ADHD expert

"Winning with ADHD is a grand slam!”

“Winning with ADHD is a truly extraordinary book for teens with ADHD. Written by a young woman with ADHD who has clearly walked the walk, every page is filled with warmth and wisdom. It covers all the important aspects for teens to know about ADHD: from understanding the diagnosis to self-care, medications, and specific strategies for conquering the challenges that arise at school, at home and with friends. Practical advice is buoyed by real-life examples and heart-felt optimism. This book affirms, guides, and inspires, and most of all gives hope to the many teens struggling with ADHD. Winning with ADHD is a grand slam!”

Linda Pfiffner, PhD Professor/Director, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences

"Full of straight talk"
