Attention Seeker: A Neurodivergent Comedian's Guide to Thriving with ADHD [Hardcover]

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 My neurodivergent brain needed a book like this. Through laughter, and some tears, Darcy Michael’s Attention Seeker is a roadmap on how to live your best life with ADHD. Embrace it, honey. —Jonathan Van Ness, comedian and television personality

Attention Seeker brings a raunchy comedy to a serious topic, and a down-to-earth, relatable tone to an often clinical experience. Be ready to feel less alone and sore from laughter.”
—Mercury Stardust, New York Times bestselling author of Safe and Sound
