Legg explores life with ADHD
Author offers view of experiences one in 20 women in NZ face on a daily basis
The Missing Piece – A Woman’s Guide to Understanding, Diagnosing and Living with ADHD, based on her own experiences.
Born in Hunterville, Legg grew up in rural communities including several years on Kawau Island.
Her diverse and happy career in the gig economy has encompassed being a professional actor, voice artist, business owner, marketer, blogger, writer, and photographer.
Until her ADHD diagnosis at 52, she struggled as to why she felt so “different” to her contemporaries.
The proud mother of three young men now lives a simple rural life with her husband as a musician and writer in haupō.
She has found her happy space homesteading and in her gumboots, in the garden, with her quirky chickens.
The Missing Piece – A Woman’s Guide to Understanding, Diagnosing and Living with ADHD, brings together Legg’s own experience along with
research studies and personal stories from other Kiwi women with ADHD.
This book is a go-to reference no matter where you are in your journey to understanding.
It covers the different presentations of ADHD, understanding how the brain works, why girls are underdiagnosed, traits and triggers, the value of an assessment, choosing (or not) medication, freeing yourself
from shame, and tips for living and thriving with ADHD.
Dispelling myths and opening a lid on the real experiences of the 1 in 20 women who have found their own missing piece, The Missing Piece is an informative and empowering guide to knowing and loving yourself.
Published by HarperCollins NZ, The Missing Piece is available at all good book stores throughout New
Zealand in paperback form, including Paper Plus Te Awamutu, along with the eBook and audiobookŌ available worldwide.
Legg will hold an author talk at the Waipā District Libraries Te Awamutu branch on Friday, March 22 at 6pm.
