Customer Reviews Summary

We first found Darcy and Jer when they appeared on the Tyler and Todd You Tube channel and have been following them since then. We have come to know and love their wicked sense of humour but also have come to recognize their intense love for each other and kindness towards others.Thus, I opened 'Attention Seeker' with high expectations. I don't think I would ever be assigned the ADHD label but am definitely anal retentive. Of course, I am a card carrying gay man so what would you expect? I was totally blown away by this book. Darcy is absolutely open and honest about what he has dealt with and learned but cushions the blow with his amazing humour and Jer's fabulous asides. This book would be an excellent resource for anyone labelled ADHD or anyone knowing and wanting to better understand such a person. I laughed, cheered and cried.
