From neurodivergent comedian Darcy Michael, a hilarious memoir with a message about living with adult ADHD

What if ADHD isn't a disorder to overcome, but a superpower that makes you funnier, more creative, and more resilient? In Attention Seeker, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurofabulous end of the spectrum.

Darcy takes readers on a humorous-yet-heartfelt journey as he relates stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy, all while navigating life with an attention-addled brain. From his early acting days on Spun Out to finding fame (and love) on the internet, Darcy shares all the dirty details (it’s NSFW, folks!) of how ADHD has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his work.

Peppered with asides from Darcy’s long-suffering husband Jer, advice for ADHDers both silly and serious, and words of wisdom from Yuma Dog herself, this laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them—or anyone who just wants to giggle.

Wonderfully raw

Such a wonderful book and engagingly read by the author. A joy to read and spend time with.

If you like the author, you'll love the book

A great book by a gay ADHD comedian, perfectly written and read for those of use who are LGBTQ+ and neurospicy. I think it speaks to the value of this book that even though my life experience stands in stark contrast to the author's, almost as much as humanly possible while still being gay and getting ADHD diagnosis later in life, the book made me feel seen and gave me hope for my future. A fair warning though, listening to it on headphones might cause people around you to raise an eyebrow at you for unexplained laughing.
