About this title

Synopsis

Misunderstood is about a therapist’s own journey with mental health and neurodivergence.

After nearly four decades of feeling misunderstood and searching for clarity, Lisa Giles takes readers through the raw, messy, and often hilarious realities of living with ADHD and Autism.

Through personal stories and professional insight, she explores executive dysfunction, sensory overload, shame, masking, and the never-ending game of Where Did I Put My…?

After navigating a maze of misdiagnoses, Lisa finally uncovered the missing puzzle pieces—ADHD and Autism—shedding light on a lifetime of struggles, strengths, and everything in between.

Blending memoir, education, and advocacy, Misunderstood invites readers to view ADHD and Autism through a lens of curiosity rather than judgment—and to see what can happen when understanding replaces shame.
