Description
The beloved authors of Dirty Laundry break down the harmful stereotypes about people with ADHD to help you stop being your worst fear-leader, start bigging yourself up, and live your best neurodivergent life. When "ADHD wife" Roxanne Pink and neurotypical husband Richard Pink asked their community of 2.5 million what the biggest ADHD struggle is, the thousands of replies changed everything. As they learned, the real enemy isn't productivity or focus, but the toxic ADHD core beliefs we've internalized.
With candor and kindness, they share personal stories to highlight and reframe the 10 big lies that ADHD people believe about themselves. From "I am lazy" to "Everybody hates me" and "I quit everything I start," Small Talk will empower ADHDers and those who love them to navigate life with compassion, humor, and hope. Whether you were diagnosed early or are new to the neurospicy community, Small Talk will change your relationship with yourself and others. Learn how to:
- Identify your limiting ADHD beliefs
- Break free from neurotypical standards
- Support and understand your ADHDers
- Adopt a self-kindness mindset
- Communicate your needs & boundaries
- Celebrate the joys of ADHD

Richard Pink and Roxanne Emery are the couple behind social media phenomenon ADHD_Love. Rich, a former banker of 20 years, is the neurotypical half, while Rox, a platinum selling songwriter and artist, is the ADHD half of the equation. Their down-to-earth and often hilarious videos showcase the rather messy reality of living with ADHD. Their main goal is to alleviate the shame that so many people living with ADHD can feel and to raise awareness of the condition.
