Frequently Asked Questions
❓1. Who is Dear Little Me really for?
This book is for anyone who’s ever felt like too much, too intense, too sensitive, too disorganized — and wondered why the world felt so loud and confusing. It’s for late-diagnosed adults, overwhelmed parents, curious partners, misunderstood teens, and every soul who’s ever asked: “Why am I like this?”
Whether ADHD is yours or someone you love’s — this book will feel like being seen for the first time.
❓2. What makes this book different from every other ADHD book out there?
This isn’t a textbook or a checklist. It’s lived truth. It was written by a late-diagnosed woman — a single mama raising an ADHD son — who’s danced through burnout, shame, impulsivity, perfectionism, and self-reinvention.
You’ll feel it on every page: the fire, the softness, the realness. This isn’t about managing symptoms — it’s about reclaiming your self-trust, your story, and your spark. And yes — there are everyday tools, frameworks, and solutions inside that actually fit the ADHD rhythm.
❓3. Can this help me if I’m a parent of an ADHD child?
Absolutely. Patrycja writes from the trenches — not just as a writer or researcher, but as a mother living this daily. You’ll find compassion, real-life mess, and a love that refuses to pathologize our kids.
This book won’t give you rigid rules — it’ll help you build rhythm, understanding, and a parenting relationship rooted in connection, not control.
❓4. What if I already know a lot about ADHD — will I still learn something?
Yes — but not in the usual way. You won’t just learn the science. You’ll feel it. This book connects the dots between lived chaos and brain wiring, between spirals and strategies, between shame and clarity.
It’s for the ones who are tired of being “explained” to. This one speaks your language.
❓5. Does it talk about the emotional and sensory side of ADHD?
Yes — and deeply. It goes where most books don’t. Emotional dysregulation, sensory overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, burnout, masking, perfectionism — it’s all in here, told honestly and supported with gentle tools that help you self-regulate without shame.
❓6. Is this book just for women?
No. While Patrycja shares her story as a woman and a mother, the experiences inside are universal. Anyone with ADHD — or anyone who loves someone with it — will find resonance, relief, and reconnection.
ADHD doesn’t care about gender. Neither does healing.
❓7. What if I’ve felt broken for years? Can this book really help?
Yes, love — especially if you’ve felt broken. This book will meet you right where you are. It won’t tell you to try harder or be more disciplined. It will show you how to see yourself differently. Gently. Truthfully. Powerfully.
Because ADHD isn’t broken. It’s a different kind of brilliance. And this book is your permission slip to stop apologizing for how your brain works.
