"Michael is best known to many queer audiences for his sharp, confessional style of comedy that's long centered vulnerability, self-awareness, and the tension between how we're expected to behave and how we actually function-with an occasional touch of raunchiness along the way. That sensibility carries into Attention Seeker, which approaches ADHD with humor and real-life honesty rather than with stigma."
"The fact is, I wanted to write a book because I wanted a chance to tell my ADHD story, the story of my family's life with neurodiversity, in a different way. Jer and I have been so lucky to get to share our journey with legions of online creeps in bite-sized videos and with breathing, sweating, laughing, and clapping IRL audiences around the world at our live on-stage shows."
