HEY ME AND MY DAD LOVE YOUR VIDEOSS !!! Congrats on your new book !!! HAPPY HOLIDAYY !! 🎄🎄🎄
Thank you!! Same to you!! 🎄🎄🎄
@@HowtoADHD 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Jessica, there are _no chapter names_ in your Audible version of your book 📚. Normally, I would give the book 1 ⭐ for that reason alone, but it's you, and I want to give you 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so please fix this, because an audiobook without chapter names hurts me.
Published Author, renowned RUclipsr and new Mom!? Look at you go! Thanks for all your help, we really appreciate you. Happy Holidays!!❤
Congratulations Jessica, you've worked hard and you deserve this so much!!!😀
If you are looking for a purpose for the additional books: consider donating them to a public library so people who can't afford to buy the book, but really benefit from it have a way of accessing it.
I was given an advanced copy to read and review. Normally I hate anything non-fiction, but I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and have found this book so enjoyable and HELPFUL! I am loving it! Can’t wait to finish it so I can leave a glowing review. I have take. So many notes on practical things to try in managing my ADHD. ❤❤❤
Oh I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you, I'm super nervous and excited to read the reviews!! I haven't seen any yet!
Well so far it looks like you can look forward to a glowing one from me! I’ve already recommended it to my psychologist, as well as your RUclips channel. She specializes in ADHD, and is always looking for new resources.
I love your practical ideas on things to do to help with ADHD, so many resources say “this is what is wrong with your brain and this is why it’s hard.” Then they just leave it at that. You give people actual things to do that make things easier, more manageable, and allow us to be successful.
You also allow yourself to be vulnerable. I have found a lot of comfort from your content knowing that it is still ok if I am struggling, because this is hard. Thanks!
Congratulations Jessica, 🎉! I could never explain fully how you have changed my life. 10 years of being on medication, and the first day I saw one of your videos, it was like somebody flipped a switch, and everything all started to make sense. I have shared what you have done for me to anybody who will listen. I will be on the phone with customer support Amazon or something and if I'm having a hard time explaining myself I'll tell them I have ADHD and usually they come back with I have ADHD or I know somebody with ADHD. I then will let them know about your channel and what you have done for me. Because of you, I am now starting to customize dolls and getting into flow acrylics. I couldn't have done it without you. It's like, oh, so this is what it's been like for other people all these years. I see a future filled with learning art and happiness, and I believe that Jesus Christ led me to your channel and to you. I love you like a sister. Well, we are sisters... sister brains. Congratulations on your wonderful book. I can't wait to get my hands on it! Merry Christmas to you and your entire family, and I wish you all a very blessed New Year! It's going to be a good one, Jessica❤!
Sister brains
"I've never finished something like this before" almost made me cry. We're also very proud of you and inspired by you!
omg I am ACTUALLY CRYING. This is amazing, your joy is radiating off my screen!! I'm so excited to actually hold this in my hands and flip through it and no doubt refer to it frequently lol. This is magical!
(If I see this on a shelf in person I'll probably take a selfie next to it like it's a landmark or something, I'm just so proud of you!! XD)
Thank you!!! lol please do and send it to me...jessica@howtoadhd.com ! Hope you're having a fun holiday season!!
“I’ve never finished anything like this before!” - the holy grail of ADHD brains. 😊 Congratulations Jessica! Thank you so much for your videos. Your example of constantly learning and experimenting with how to live fully with ADHD has been an inspiration. I pre-ordered your book I don’t know how many weeks ago and am so excited to get it in my hands in just a few more days.
Get that book!!!
OMG So happy for your success and am so happy to see someone else with ADHD do things and get done!!!
So am I!
In less than 2 weeks, the book will be on my doorstep, and I am so excited!! I’m even more excited that you gave us a sneak peek at what the inside looks like (OF COURSE you’d make it ADHD friendly! THANK GOD)! Congratulations on all your hard work and THANK YOU in advance for creating this book. I was diagnosed this year at 39, so I’m still navigating everything and I know this book will be a fantastic resource for me!
Thanks, Jessica! I just ordered mine! I didn't get diagnosed until this past year... I'm 61! I dearly wish I had gotten some help 50+ years ago, but, we do the best we can at any particular moment. Learning to understand myself has been wonderful, though. Anyway, thank you for all the 'tips & tricks' here. Happy Holidays to you.
I am not a person who typically leaves comments. But my copy was just delivered and I had to comment. Holding the book and reading the intro just made me so happy to have it and almost made me cry. I am a mom to an 8 year old daughter with ADHD. Being able to have something tangible to give to her when she is ready, brings me so much peace. My goal is to empower her and this is a great tool for her. 🎉
This was me last year. Giving my parents my book for Christmas was one of the most special moments of my life. To be honest I almost can't watch this because it makes me cry and then I feel sad and guilty that I haven't finished my second book this year. But I am so, so happy for you that you get to experience that feeling. You deserve to be incredibly proud of your hard work and all of the grit and determination it takes to see that process through.
Mine was just delivered!!!! Cant wait to crack it open (also Hi from Ontario Canada!)
So happy for you as a person and thankful for all your hard work!!! (I hope this comment reaches you )
Long story and insight to my life short, I'm so thankful I came across you when I did!!! cant wait to start reading!!! and then probably get distracted... and put it down for a bit... then see you pop up on my feed again, have an "OH YA!!!" moment and continue reading it!!!
*The Long Story Part*
Growing up I was always "different", even I knew (and saw) I wasn't like the other kids... (my parents not knowing any better at the time compared *me* all the time)
I was the typical shy/quiet kid who had 1, 2, maybe 4 friends max, and I always kept my trusty sketch book nearby. I came across your TED talk one day (at 25 years old) and it stuck in my head on repeat for some reason. It's what pushed me to start asking my doctor questions late 2022 I related to your talk so much! I felt like you were describing MY life. I essentially binge watched your channel for a time, finding more and more I related to. Like you, I was really smart when it came to things I found interesting, but I struggled so much to focus on other topics. I can clearly remember my 6th grade teacher pulling me aside to talk about a test I'd completely failed, but the test we had last week I passed with flying colors..... Turns out im not "different" im DIFFERENT!!!!!
Now almost 27 Years old im FINALLY learning to work WITH my brain all thanks to you and your channel!!!!
My boyfriend even does his best to help me where he can, especially making our home "my" ADHD friendly! (love that you made a video on this, I hope it turns into a series!) simple things like having a key hook near the door with a shelf just above, I can put things I need to remember to bring with me now that its right in my face! Also a huge thing that helps me he's installed around the house... WHITE BOARDS!!!! This came about after an episode of Young Sheldon where a scientist has black boards all over his home, however the character is sadly going through a mental breakdown at the time...
The most important board I'd highly recommend to anyone of any neurodivergence is on our fridge! As the week goes, we write items that are getting low or we're out of completely. When we go shopping we take a picture of this board to help *somebody* stay focused... (no more huge pile of pasta I thought we were out of cause of that time 5 weeks ago we WERE out...) When we come home we both wipe things off as we put them away. Anything that remains, we know exactly what we forgot for the next shop!
Words cant begin to describe how thankful I am of you! I wish you the best of luck in your future and send you my love
Great idea for the fridge board! Me likey! Maybe I can get one started here (same problems remembering what we're out of (or, as you say, not! Lol)).
Congratulations and thank you for being so generous and giving of yourself to write this book!!!
I very happily preordered your book and look forward to reading through it. (Probably bouncing my way around the chapters, rather than a proper read through… everyone reading this understands exaaaaactly what I mean 😂)
eee thank you for preordering!! And yeah, it was totally designed to be able to be bounced around through!
Peak Nuero Divergent. Petting the cover and saying "it feels NICE ! I wanted it to feel nice!" LOL! Love your joy 😊
AAAAAAAAH!! A BOOK AND A BABY AND YOUR SOUL MATE! Girl, you are starting your 2024 in a wonderful way!
I hope your heart can feel the hug I'm sending. Doubles since physical touch is your love language.
You've worked so hard and done so much and come so far. You give everything and you deserve even more.
You are one of God's greatest gifts to this world and your mom IS absolutely proud of you.
I did feel the hug! Aw thank you so much 🥰 🤗 needed that today
You are now immortalized for all time for your book will forever be out there somewhere. Congratz!
I wish I could afford to get it! You have been one of the biggest helps to me since I was diagnosed with combined type ADHD at 40. Just something about the way you explain things the clicks for me. Thank you for making the content you have, and for the content you have yet to create!
I know you did an episode on journaling and planners for people with ADHD, but I would love to see you do and up to date one on that subject. What do you think of the Rocketbook journal and planner in one?
Aw thank you! We'll be putting out a lot of content based on what's in the book in January especially :) It's important to me to make this info available for anyone who needs it!
My library has the ebook in order and I have it on hold for the new year. I hope you have access to a good library - you deserve it.
Thank you 👍🏼
it's so SO REFRESHING seeing a content creator experience the book FIRST HAND and show it to their audiences. Not just a quick promo mention or exempts from it. I can't wait to order this!!
Congrats on the book! Many people write books, but only a few get published, and even fewer get put on bookstore shelves. You're amazing. I've already preordered a copy on amazon
I ordered my copy on New Year's Day and it arrived 2 days later. I was reading it yesterday morning in a local coffee shop. One of the young ladies behind the counter said she noticed what I was reading. We talked about your channel; I handed her the book and she examined it. By the time I left, she was on her phone, pulling up Amazon and placing her order. A couple of people saw the cover and snickered. I made the comment to them that if they did have or suspect they had ADHD, then they wouldn't understand. I have three teacher friends who have already gotten their own copies and are anxious how to deal with "us." LOL Thank you for writing this! You are my hero!
I get my book today! So excited. Just been diagnosed with ADHD at 57 yrs of age. Started with some medication and my life has changed and I feel like I’m finally living. Now I’m in the research stage and learning so much. My therapist recommended your RUclips videos. What a blessing you have been to my life. The videos are good to share with my husband to help him understand what’s going on in my brain. Thank you for sharing! And congratulations to you!
Congratulations, Jessica! I am so happy for you to have finished your book AND I am so happy for me to be able to read it!
Thank you so much for writing this book -- and thank you even more for taking the extra time and extra effort to record an audiobook version!!
I can't imagine how much more stress it put on your already stressed schedule. I just wanted to know that we recognize and appreciate your dedication to seeing it through.
Having audio versions of tools like these can make such a huge difference to so many of us out here; from us visually impaired and blind fans of yours, to those who just find it incredibly difficult to sit still long enough to read. It feels good to be seen, even if we can't see you back! (lol! blind joke!)
Paused to pre-order and I'm even more excited to read it after that preview!!! This made me cry with happiness for you & added inspiration to my own big dreams! ❤ *THANK YOU for being you, Jessica McCabe!* You rock! ⭐🏆😃🏆⭐
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ hugs
I absolutely feel that mixed feeling sense of accomplishment. I just finished my very first semester in college, juuust managed to keep my 4.0/A average, got 100% in accounting and it feels weird. Like I'm going to wake up at some point and it never happened. ❤ Be proud! 💜 You're allowed to be proud! 💙
congrats on birthing the book, my hopes and prayers for the baby.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! I preordered my copy. I was excited when I made the order, and I'm even more excited to get mine seeing you get the physical copy! Yay!
Edit: Okay, so I'm also feeling emotional too just seeing you get your physical copies and your excitement. I can't wait for mine! Thank you, Jessica, for writing this book!
CONGRATULATIONS, JESSICA!!!
Thank you Jessica, I started watching your channel last year, and pre-ordered your book, and wrote a review on Amazon, used this book to help spread awareness because I was misdiagnosed my entire life, turns out I had ADHD since I was a teenager, now I am helping my daughter who has ADHD so she can build her toolbox, so I am a Brain and a Heart. We also body double, and no one is allowed to mess with the pomodoro timer.
This is so wonderful!!! Congratulations! We're all incredibly proud of you!!! 😄
You did it! Congrats and thank you for your work. Can’t wait to read it!

CONGRATS!! I'm so excited to read it!
I just got my pre-ordered copy of your book today. It was very exciting, but has turned into me crying and it's only chapter 2. 😭
As someone who didn't get diagnosed until adulthood, I feel like I'm gonna cry a lot reading your book, as I unpack all those years of unmet expectations. But it'll be therapeutic.
Thanks a million for putting this out into the universe. ❤❤❤ My 20s would have been a whole lot different if I'd had this knowledge about myself then.
Congratulations! This is amazing xx
Congratulations on finally finishing your book. You can definitely tell you put a lot of work into it and this will definitely help a lot of people. I can’t wait to get myself a copy.

My teen son and I were diagnosed around the same time and work together to learn "How to ADHD". So grateful I came across your channel and TED talk early in our education journey! Every mental health person that has dealt with either of us since diagnosis has been referred to specific videos of yours! You have done good things for our family and I am literally crying joy tears for you!!!!
Well done and Merry Christmas! Jessica you are a published author! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Oh Jess, what a joyous video, thank you for sharing this with us! I'm so proud of you, and I love that you can say you're proud of you, too 💜 I can't wait for my copy to show up! This is the book I hunted desperately for when I was first diagnosed, 2.5 years ago - by one of us, for all of us. Thank you for doing the thing!
perfect timing ... thank you
Congratulations on your extraordinary accomplishment!!
I am so excited for you, and I'm proud of you. I cannot wait to get my copy!
