Ben & Milo: My Guide to ADHD

⚡ Helping children understand ADHD in a way that feels positive, encouraging and fun! ⚡

My Guide to ADHD is a 10-page illustrated comic book about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It follows Ben and his dog Milo through school and home life, showing what ADHD can feel like, what helps, and all the strengths that come with a brain that works differently.

Children with ADHD may find it hard to slow down, focus or wait, feel full of energy, or have big feelings that come on quickly. This comic helps them see themselves in Ben, understand their own brain, and learn simple strategies they can use every day.
