This isn't my usual kind of story.
This is a piece of my heart.
"A Quiet Kid in the Corner: Understanding Brains Like Mine" is not fiction, but a gentle guide into the world of people like me - those of us who live with ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD.
Too often, we're seen as "broken," "lazy," or "unstable." But the truth is simpler and softer: our brains just work differently. This book is my attempt to explain that difference - through stories, lived experiences, and breaking down the myths that surround us.
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be the quiet kid craving friends but overwhelmed by the world... or if you want to understand why we move, stim, or think the way we do... this book is for you.
It's not a medical manual.
It's not a textbook.
It's a bridge - between us and you.
💫 Come step into our world. You may find we're not so different after all.
Disclaimer:
The information shared in this book has been partly sourced from Mayo Clinic and other reliable medical resources. However, the examples, personal stories, and explanations are based on my own experiences living with ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD.
This book is not a complete guide. ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD are very diverse and complex, and symptoms can vary widely from person to person. The questions and misconceptions discussed here represent just a small part of what these conditions can look like.
If something here resonates with you, please take it as a starting point - not a diagnosis. Consider learning more through credible sources or speaking to a qualified professional who understands neurodivergence.
Every brain is unique, and no single book can capture every experience or every symptom. This is simply my way of shedding light on what life with AuDHD can feel like, so others can understand and maybe relate. 💛
Two villages. One river.
An arranged marriage between a shy, saree-clad boy and a solemn farmer.
No promises of love-only respect, quiet meals, shared silences.
But somewhere between chai at dawn and stolen glances at dusk,
love takes root, soft and slow...
like a flower blooming on the riverbank.
