Sobre este título

Brought to you by Penguin.

The ground-breaking memoir of one woman coming to terms with her ADHD diagnosis, shedding new light on her past, her family history and reframing the condition

For Carla Ciccone, the feeling of not quite knowing how to perform adult life was all too familiar.

At 39 years old, Carla was finally diagnosed with ADHD after a lifetime of shame and self-blame. Yet while the diagnosis came with a sense of relief, the knowledge that a significant brain disorder, for too long framed as a condition for restless little boys, had gone unnoticed all her life didn't sit right with her.

Understanding the ways in which ADHD has been framed scientifically and historically made Carla realise how she had created a narrative where her ADHD symptoms were deep personality flaws and left her ashamed and feeling unworthy.

Through scientific research and interviews with international experts, Carla explores how science gendered the disorder, allowing girls to struggle for years in silence.

Carla's deeply personal account serves as a source of unwavering validation, explanation and solace for all women with ADHD who are embarking upon their own discoveries and striving to reimagine how they see themselves, reframe their pasts and project their hopeful futures.

Resumo da Crítica

Nowhere Girl is at once lucid, captivating, poignant, terrifying, and ultimately uplifting. Once I opened it, I literally could not put it down. In captivating prose, Ciccone conveys four-decades of non-diagnosed ADHD, replete with unanswered questions, shame, trauma, dashed efforts at coping, and periods of despair, deftly interweaving current science into the story. This lifespan account surges with pain but also with hope, given that an accurate diagnosis after becoming a mother has forged a hard-won sense of peace and acceptance, along with finding optimal supports. Five stars, highest recommendation.
We live in a mainstream and health culture that demands us to ‘fit in.’ This is the opposite of living an authentic life. Our bodies and minds are speaking to us and doing their job in raising their red flags. The question remains: are we truly ready to listen? Carla’s candid memoir about being diagnosed with ADHD after years of feeling lost and ignored shines a light on the inconvenience of truth. That in itself is a sacred gift to make sure we head somewhere together instead of nowhere.
A journey through a realm of neurodivergence we explore reprehensibly seldom and address—still!—with a negligence that would be astonishing were it not so routine. Truly eye-opening.
A powerful, vulnerable testament to the necessity of empathy and understanding when navigating ADHD. This book made me feel seen, heard, and not alone.
Ciccone's in-depth research…opens up space for the hard, messy and complicated truths of life with ADHD for girls and women.
Funny, wise, infuriating, and deeply moving. I wanted to press this book into the hands of every woman who has ADHD, or knows someone who does—in other words, all of us.
Written with a lightness of touch belying the wealth of information it contains, Nowhere Girl is likely to become a handbook for any woman navigating an adult diagnosis of ADHD
It is the answer to the question “What has it been like to be you?” If you’re a late-diagnosed woman with ADHD, if you are a neurodivergent Nowhere Girl who has been overlooked and ignored for decades, or if there is a Nowhere Girl somewhere in your life, then this is the book for you.
