🦄 Second edition is here

Your ADHD brain isn't broken. It just wants to play.

PlayDHD is the playful, science-backed prescription for adults with ADHD. Second edition — twice the authors, twice the pages, twice the fun.

From clinical psychologist Dr. Kirsten Milliken & ADHD educator Matt Raekelboom.

PlayDHD 2.0 book cover: Permission to Play — A Prescription for Adults with ADHDNew 2nd Edition ✨

The mission

Play is not a distraction. It's the strategy.

For years, ADHD came with a lecture: focus harder, try harder, sit still. We're flipping the script. PlayDHD shows you how to use play, curiosity, and your own wiring to actually get things done — and enjoy your life while you do it.

Play as medicine

Not a reward for finishing your work. The thing that makes the work possible.

Built by ADHD brains

Two authors who live it, wrote it, and tested every strategy on themselves first.

Science that's actually fun

Real research, zero lecture. You'll learn the why without falling asleep.

I finally stopped fighting my brain and started playing with it. Game changer.

The only ADHD book I've actually finished. That should tell you everything.

Read it in a weekend. Laughed. Cried a little. Reorganized my whole week.
