Great Help in AD/HD Friendly Format

This book has helped me, my husband, boss, and friends understand the challenges I face with AD/HD. And it is a great reference when I lose patience with myself over my disorganization and my difficulty in starting and/or finishing projects. It is easy to jump around in the book to find the help I need to face my daily challenges.

tells it like it is

This book gives the most effective and understand-able description of the life situations, thought processes, and what it's really like to be an adult ADD so that a person who is NOT adult ADD can grasp a bit of what it really is - descriptions that even someone who really doesn't have a clue - in every day - average joe kind of terms, with no medical jargon or words you have to look up.

Make this one your first choice to understand ADD

My attempt to come to understand what ADD is all about has proved helpful thanks to this little book. This is the first book I read on the topic, and I found it informative and educational. It is geared towards those who struggle with the disorder, with its simple format, its gentle repetition of items, its lack of huge medical terms and concepts, and its call to co-workers and peers for sympathy towards the person handicapped in this unique fashion. I openly recommend it to anyone searching for a primer on the topic.

Best of its Kind

You have an attention deficit.An overly academic, wordy textbook is not your friend.This book is exactly what you need.The layout and the informality of the writing allow even the most scatterbrained reader to stay focused and get the maximum amount of information without struggling to grasp it.It's incredibly helpful for the AD/HD adult, their friends and families and anyone else who just wants to know exactly what is known about this horribly frustrating, yet occasionally wonderful condition.

Great Book for ADDults

This is a very well written book for adults with AD/HD (ADD or ADHD).It covers many different areas of AD/HD. It discuss many ways for ADDults to help manage their AD/HD. The setup of the book is pretty "ADD friendly".
