I just read How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe (she has a fantastic YouTube channel as well and I wish I knew this stuff 20+ years ago. So I thought I'd give away copies to my favorite ADHD sub. I'm giving away ten copies in a contest. I've never done something like this before so I'll probably mess it up or go ride bikes and forget, but it'll be up for a week (hopefully pinned), and the replies with the most points get the book.

I'm happy to mail a physical copy, or an ebook or an audio book, your choice. I'm US based so a physical copy may be sketchy outside of the US but lets go for it.

How to get points: Reply and include some or more of the below.

Most upvotes: +1
Second most upvotes: +1
Newest reply when contest closes: +1
Most engagement/replies to a comment: +1
Quirky fake quote from the book: +1
Fake chapter title and summary from the book: +1
Meme of the book: +1
Fake book cover of the book: +1
ADHD character cosplay/art: +1 (dress up as your favorite ADHD person or post art of them, AI art counts!)
Wildcard challenge +1 (create your own challenge and get others to participate)
Unsung hero award +3 (share someone who has been an unsung hero for you and your ADHD challenges)

Have fun, and hope this doesn't become a disaster...! I mean I was supposed to post this on Wednesday, but you know, ADHD....

EDIT: Multiple replies are cool, I'll use a vlookup or something to merge them together!

Contest is over, I replied to those who won. As my first time doing this I learned a lot, like don't post word-walls in an ADHD forum, keep it simple stupid, and do on. Hopefully this brought a little joy to folks in a community that brings me joy, I'm not funny enough to come up with the clever meme's I regularly see here but I do laugh and upvote frequently.

Thank you for letting me try to do this!

I would be happy if i got the book but i also don't want to give you my address or take it away from someone who needs it more when i can just pirate it . Anyway good for you for helping people hope you are not a shill.

This... is marketing.

I doubt Jessica McCabe and her team know about Lemmy. This kind of reminds me of a fandom.

I'm not sure how to take that....!?
