"Amy speaks from both experience and expertise, and this book is a beautiful culmination of this. Using the natural elements to help you connect with the grief cycle, which often follows a late ADHD diagnosis, is both novel and insightful. As a woman who received an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood, I recommend newly diagnosed people to read this book. It prompts you to reflect, reconnect, and embrace and celebrate your new sense of self, post diagnosis. Roxanne Rogers, Postgraduate Qualitative Researcher and Woman with ADHD Amy's skilled and compassionate questions create a powerful self-guided journal to untangle your emotions, process your journey, and allow you to experience a gradual unfolding into your own acceptance, change, growth, and empowerment. Unique Minds provides a steadfast and loving guide to process your late ADHD diagnosis. Amy poetically invites you to embrace your new identity, shift your roadblocks into steppingstones, and discover the power that comes with that. She courageously shares her own intimate stories of shock, internal emotional weather, and vulnerability as she untangled and navigated her own journey to acceptance and wisdom. This beautiful journal will guide you to your own place of acceptance and wisdom. Jean Sheridan, Wellbeing Coach Immediately I felt connected to Amy with our shared experiences in my ADHD diagnosis. There have been many instances in my journey where I felt alone and that others could not relate. This journal broke down those insecurities I've struggled with and shone a light of hope and gratitude that I didn't even know I needed. Each question she poses brought insightful thoughts that hadn't crossed my mind in the past year. Finding the joy in the journey, looking at myself with kindness, and seeing the beauty in my unique mind was exactly what I needed. Sadie Tollberg, BSN, RN and Army Veteran Health Coach The strength of this journal lies in its ability to address the multifaceted emotional journey that individuals embark upon when confronting ADHD. With compassion, Amy explores the initial shock, the stages of grief, and the ultimate triumphs that emerge when embracing neurodiversity. Tamara Rosier, Ph.D. Author: Your Brain's Not Broken When Amy Joynt writes, ""Self-discovery is the most freeing thing you can do in a world that often wants you to fit in"", I raised my cheerleading pom poms to the sky, because she hits the nail on its proverbial head. As an ADHDer and ADHD coach, Amy's experiences echo my own and those of many other late-diagnosed humans. A late diagnosis of ADHD can leave you feeling lost and bewildered, and life often doesn't make space for you to process your emotions and readjust your world view. There's no handbook or sat-nav for this process. This is why Unique Minds is a much-needed resource for ADHDers following a formal or self-diagnosis. As well as speaking candidly about her own experiences, Amy accompanies you through a journey of realization and reflection. Using carefully crafted reflection questions, Unique Minds helps you to look compassionately at past, present and future you, your unique brain, and your strengths and talents. Buy it, read it, and carry it with you as you walk your life post-diagnosis. Anj Caims, ADHD Coach"
