My Brain Has Its Own Speed
A first book about ADHD, for kids who have been called "too much"
Little Knots · kids books
Books that explain a child's brain to the child
A child who is told "you're too much" learns one thing. A child who is told "your brain has its own speed" learns something else entirely. Same behaviour, two different childhoods.
Each book is a real story first — then one page at the back for the grown-ups: what it is modelling, what to say instead, and three questions to ask afterwards.

Reading these with a child who has just been diagnosed
Start with the story, not the explanation. Read it once with no commentary at all. Let them ask. Children accept a description of themselves far more easily when it arrives as a story about someone else first — and the grown-up page at the back is written for the conversation afterwards, not the one during.
