About this listen

From neurodivergent comedian Darcy Michael, a hilarious memoir with a message about living with adult ADHD

What if ADHD isn't a disorder to overcome, but a superpower that makes you funnier, more creative, and more resilient? In Attention Seeker, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurofabulous end of the spectrum.

Darcy takes readers on a humorous-yet-heartfelt journey as he relates stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy, all while navigating life with an attention-addled brain. From his early acting days on Spun Out to finding fame (and love) on the internet, Darcy shares all the dirty details (it’s NSFW, folks!) of how ADHD has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his work.

Peppered with asides from Darcy’s long-suffering husband Jer, advice for ADHDers both silly and serious, and words of wisdom from Yuma Dog herself, this laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them—or anyone who just wants to giggle.

I wasn't expecting the full emotional rollercoaster, but I absolutely loved listening to all the stories. I've been following Darcy and Jer for quite some time now and I just love their authenticity and the little glimpses into how adhd affects their lives. I also have a hard copy but cos I'm off sick decided to get the audio book and I wasn't disappointed. I just wish they would do some shows across the UK.

Loved it!

As a late diagnosed ADHD person listening to someone else's story of the struggles we both endured I was hooked. Fantastic writing with laugh out loud moments, mixed with sadness. The book gives excellent coping strategies and insight. I'm proud to be neurofabulous.

I’ve followed Darcy and Jer on socials for ages and I adore both of them. This book, read by the lovely Darcy with interjections from the equally lovely Jer, is a book I will come back to again and again. It is moving, thought provoking, touching and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story Darcy. And please, if you download and listen to nothing else this year, choose this one. You won’t regret it!

Moving, funny and genuine
