GOOD THINGS TO READ
I have been trying to figure out what sorts of things might be helpful resources and I realized something – I am a reader. I find books entertaining and helpful depending on what I am reading. I read a lot of books about autism, ADHD, AuDHD, and other neurodivergent issues. I have decided to start a page where I review books I have read. My reviews will only be good ones along the lines “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” I want this to be helpful. I am not going to limit this to books. I am thinking I might include websites that I find that are helpful as well as articles and podcasts and such. There are so many different mediums that convey information to us that I am going to try to expand my world beyond books. Anyway, I hope these reviews will be helpful for people looking for a certain type of resource.
Overcoming Binge Eating Disorder with AuDHD
by Storm Gregory
Back Cover: “This memoir by Storm Gregory chronicles the author’s journey of recovery from binge eating disorder, intertwined with the discovery of living with AUDHD (Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and the impact of childhood trauma. The narrative begins with the acknowledgement of the struggles faced due to binge eating disorder, where Storm felt trapped in a cycle of eating and shame, often dismissed by medical professionals as a moral failing. This led to a breaking point where she sought help from a psychologist, marking a pivotal moment in her recovery journey."

I found this book when I was on thriftbooks.com. I was looking to see if I could find books on AuDHD. I was diagnosed with AuDHD four years ago at the age of 50. I have been learning a lot about myself by living with myself, but I wanted more information. I was shocked by the number of books I found somehow related to AuDHD. How was I going to choose? This one caught my attention and was in my cart immediately. Someone else dealing with the same issues as me: AuDHD, binge eating, and childhood trauma.
After reading the first two pages, I felt even more like this was someone like me. She was diagnosed with AuDHD at the age of 52. She grew up around the same time as me, when things like autism and ADHD were just not acknowledged.
I found this book to be honest about the good and the bad. The author’s journey did differ from mine, but it was so encouraging to read her story of success. I found her story to be helpful in seeing how things were tied together between AuDHD, binge eating, and PTSD from an abusive parent. Her story was informative and uplifting.
Even if you don’t have any of the conditions mentioned in this book, I think you could still benefit from it. It is both uplifting and informative.
This book is independently published. I found it on several websites, including:
