A Practical Guide for Siblings of Someone with ADHD
by Delilah Lord
What if being the "easy" child meant becoming invisible?
When a child is diagnosed with ADHD, the family dynamic shifts overnight. Delilah Lord knows this story intimately. As her brother's world of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and forgotten homework became the center of family life, she found herself quietly fading into the background—the good child, the quiet one, the invisible sibling.
In The Invisible Sibling: Thriving in the Shadow of ADHD, Lord shines a compassionate light on the often-overlooked experience of siblings navigating life beside a neurodivergent brother or sister. Drawing from her personal journey and her work in mental health, she offers a validating and empowering guide for teens and young adults who feel unseen in the wake of a sibling's diagnosis.
Through relatable storytelling, practical exercises, and evidence-based strategies, readers will learn how to:
- Understand ADHD and its impact on the entire family
- Identify and process complex emotions like resentment, guilt, and jealousy
- Create personal boundaries and carve out their own space
- Communicate needs effectively with family members
- Maintain friendships and build a strong personal identity
- Embrace their own growth, resilience, and voice
Your experience matters. Your voice deserves to be heard. Step into your story with The Invisible Sibling and begin the journey from overlooked to empowered.
