is an award-winning speaker, family coach, and author dedicated to helping families navigate the challenges of problematic video gaming and gaming addiction.

Seamlessly weaving personal memoir with clinical insights, expert interviews, resources and cutting-edge research, this essential guide demystifies the overlap between gaming, neurobiology, and neurodivergence. Jake shares the practical pillars of his own wellness—structure, routine, accountability, exercise, real-world connections and supports.

Culminating in the powerful last chapter, Two Voices, One Journey, this book is both a devastatingly honest look at addiction and a hopeful roadmap for building a life worth living. Wired to Game is an indispensable resource that belongs on everyone’s shelf.

A compassionate lifeline for families navigating neurodivergence and screen time. Wired to Game moves past panic and surface-level behavior fixes, reframing gaming not as an addiction, but as a response to a brain wired differently. Rich with practical tools—like the ADHD Motivational Triangle—and a deep appreciation for human connection, Elaine guides readers from frustration to true understanding. Essential reading for parents, partners, and anyone ready to help a loved one thrive.
