Overview

Have you ever interrupted a friend because the thought was burning a hole in your brain? Have you ever gone silent for weeks because you forgot to text back and the shame became too heavy to lift? If you have ADHD, standard communication advice like ""just listen better"" or ""think before you speak"" doesn't work. It feels like trying to run Windows software on a Mac-the operating system is fundamentally different. Say What You Mean (When Your Brain Won't Let You) is not a book about masking your neurodivergence to make others comfortable. It is a practical toolkit for bridging the gap between your brain and the people you love. In this compassionate and actionable guide, you will learn how to: Navigate Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): Understand why criticism feels like physical pain and learn specific scripts to de-escalate your internal panic before it destroys a conversation. Manage Emotional Dysregulation: Move from 0-to-100 explosions to regulated communication using the ""pause"" technique and sensory grounding. Conquer Time Blindness: Stop breaking promises you meant to keep. Learn external systems that compensate for your brain's inability to track time so you can show up for the people who matter. Master the Art of Repair: You will mess up. Learn the 7-step repair formula to rebuild connection after an interruption, a forgotten date, or an impulsive comment. Translate Your Brain: Gain the exact language to explain your executive dysfunction to partners, friends, and bosses without sounding like you're making excuses. Whether you are struggling with romantic conflict, fading friendships, or workplace misunderstandings, this book moves you from the shame of ""I'm sorry I'm like this"" to the clarity of ""This is how my brain works, and here is how we can move forward together."" You aren't broken. You just speak a different language. It's time to learn the translation.
