À propos de cet audio
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.
Darcy Michael is a comedian who has dominated comedy for 15 years. An accomplished actor, Darcy Michael has appeared in TV shows & films such as Legends of Tomorrow, RapturePalooza, Lucifer, and The Twilight Zone. Darcy has been nominated for two Canadian Comedy Awards and named a finalist in the SiriusXM Top Comic Competition and NBC's Stand Up for Diversity show. Pegged by the Montreal Gazette as one of their favorites at the Just for Laughs Festival - he has gone on to appear at the prestigious festival over ten times.

“Dear reader, it took many reminders and follow up reminders to get me to write this endorsement of Darcy Michael’s book, because guess who else is neurodivergent? Me, that’s who!

Very funny approach to ADHD

In this delightful tale, you showcase a brilliant partner who always made sure you could follow your comedic ambitions, even when the fridge was looking a bit bare. The contrast between your creative spirit and his corporate world is both entertaining and relatable.
Your candid take on overstimulation feels like a conversation with a friend at a coffee shop—funny, insightful, and occasionally bewildering.
Bravo on creating a work of art that’s as real as it is hilarious. If anyone needs a dose of inspiration (and laughter), this is a must-read!
