What does it mean to live in a world that punishes distraction, but profits from our attention? What does it really feel like to grow up, learn, work and exist in a world that wasn’t built for your brain?

Drawing on research, lived experience and the realities of navigating ADHD in the UK today, Medland cuts through the myths to uncover the truth — from education to employment, addiction to the criminal justice system — and reveals how ADHD intersects with power, privilege and oppression.

Equal parts eye-opening, urgent and authoritative, Attention Seeker is a call to rethink ADHD, not just as an individual diagnosis, but as a political issue.
