To her, being bad at staying organized was just one of her many character flaws--that is, until she was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 35. Like many women and girls with undiagnosed ADHD, Emily spent her life internalizing criticisms about her lack of follow-through and carrying around a lot of shame as she tried to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains. "I'll Just Be Five More Minutes" is a collection of honest, humorous, and sometimes heartbreaking personal essays about Emily's experiences as a woman with ADHD. Far more than simply classic ADHD stories about being too energetic at school or being called too scatterbrained, "I'll Just be Five More Minutes" is a portrait of modern American life in a neurodivergent brain. It's about complicated relationships with family and friends (including celebrity stalker). Feminism and a woman's right to control her own body. Sleeping too little and drinking too much. Starting a side hustle--and then starting another one (and another and another). Finding the love of your life and then fighting to keep him. And, of course, self-acceptance. These are the deeply relatable, possibly secondhand embarrassment-inducing, wide-ranging stories about not quite fitting into the world without understanding why--a feeling we can all relate to whether we're neurodivergent or not. An essay collection both entertaining and enlightening, "I'll Just Be Five More Minutes" is for people who have ADHD, for the people who know and love them, and for anyone looking for a good laugh as well as a good cry. But it's also more than that--it's a book on how to exist as a woman, a mom, and a person in this fast-paced, overwhelming world we (somewhat begrudgingly) call home"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-261). 600 10 $a Farris, Emily. 600 10 $a Farris, Emily $x Mental health. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit-disordered adults $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit-disordered women $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit disorder in adults $v Popular works. 650 2 $a Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity. 650 2 $a Mentally Ill persons. 650 2 $a Women. 650 6 $a Adultes hyperactifs $z EÌtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Trouble deÌficitaire de l'attention chez l'adulte $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 655 2 $a Personal Narrative. 941 $a 3 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011024.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240305011514.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224011054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E5E7BEED2E211EE84426D1826ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
