Embracing Neurodiversity (2nd ed) - Understanding and Thriving with your Unique Brain (forthcoming 6 August) - Lee Hopkins
The first edition of this book was written by a man who did not yet know he was describing himself. I was diagnosed autistic and ADHD in January 2025, a few weeks before it went to press. I will let you do the arithmetic.
This second edition is written from inside.
A year on, the diagnosis has stopped being news and become furniture, and the conversation about neurodiversity has caught fire—not the warming kind, the kind you ring someone about. Diagnosis rates keep climbing. The word ‘neurodiversity’ went mainstream and then went shopping. And most people now meet their own neurology in a thirty-second video, which would be fine except that a 2026 review from the University of East Anglia found more than half of the most popular ADHD content, and a great deal of the autism content, is simply wrong.
So this edition sets out to be the quiet, careful, properly referenced thing the noise made necessary. Every clinical claim is now sourced, because a psychologist who cites nothing is just a bloke with opinions. There is a new chapter on the noise itself: the algorithms, the politics, the enamel pins. There is a new chapter on what neurodivergence looks like outside the English-speaking world, written from a country where the word barely exists yet. And the whole thing runs on one stubborn idea: how well you function depends on the fit between your wiring and the room you were handed, not on the wiring alone. Change the room, and you change the outcome.
It is also, deliberately, short. A doorstop on the subject of cognitive load would be a small act of hypocrisy with a barcode on it.
For late-diagnosed adults, for the parents and partners and colleagues trying to understand them, and for anyone who spent years being told they were bright but not applying themselves, this is a map drawn at last by someone who has stopped pretending he is only passing through.
Written with clinical judgement, lived experience, and an AI collaborator the author is honest about—because a book about brains ought to be straight about how it was made.
Understanding AuDHD (4th edition) - Lee Hopkins
AuDHD is not two conditions, it is one system. For years, autism and ADHD have been treated as separate diagnoses that occasionally overlap, and the result has been decades of confusion, misdiagnosis, and advice that cancels itself out; this book makes a different argument.

Gutter to the Stars: Memories of a Post-Grunge Drifter (Gen-X Memoir) by
This Amazon category bestseller is a sharp, gritty Gen-X memoir that follows Latimer Redlance through decades lived on the fringes — chaotic, hilarious, heartbreaking, and defiantly alive.
In punchy, stand-alone chapters, Redlance moves from the frozen Gulf Islands of Canada to a brutal New Zealand boarding school, then into the feral bush raves of 1990s Aotearoa and the gritty backstreets of Sydney and Toronto. Along the way, he crosses paths with punks, misfits, seekers, and the occasional future celebrity — including a young Ryan Gosling — while trying to outrun the ghosts of his past.
Raw, honest, and unexpectedly tender, this memoir captures a generation that rejected safety in favour of experience. Perfect for fans of counterculture stories and unconventional coming-of-age journeys, Gutter to the Stars is a testament to survival, rebellion, and finding meaning in the mess.

In this contrarian examination of depression, Hopkins combines academic rigour (450+ research citations), clinical expertise, and brutally honest memoir to challenge everything we’ve been told about mental illness. He argues that much of what we call depression is actually a reasonable response to unreasonable circumstances: poverty, systemic betrayal, cultural mismatch, and neurodivergent exhaustion in systems built exclusively for neurotypical brains.
