Stuff That Won’t Stay Still
An ADHD story about movement, misfires, and the magic of not giving up
Meet Joshua Flakerton — known to his friends (and probably the teachers) as Flaky.
He’s loud. He’s fast. He can’t sit still. His brain fizzes with ideas, questions, and the occasional accidental pencil throw. He’s trying to build the ultimate “focus machine” out of junk, survive school without launching anything, and figure out why his inside voice has no volume control.
This is not a story about getting “fixed.”
It’s a story about figuring it out — with fidget rings, wobble cushions, monster maps, and the people who see past the chaos to the kind, funny, fiercely original kid underneath it all.
Told through narrative, doodles, comic strips and Braincast episodes, this is a warm, hilarious and honest look at ADHD from the inside out — perfect for readers who move too much, think too fast, or feel too big.
