Practical Advice and Inspiration for On-the-Job Success

What I love about "Making ADD Work" is that Blythe Grossberg gets to the heart of the issues facing ADDers in the workplace. She doesn't waste too much time explaining ADD, but rather dives deeply into the lives and work habits of adults with ADD who have successfully learned to cope with their challenges and utilize their strengths. Dr. Grossberg focuses on the three key areas that are most helpful for adults with ADD: improving work skills, finding the right career path, and getting support. Additionally, the book is packed with inspirational stories and expert advice. I highly recommend it to all my clients! -Jennifer Koretsky, author of Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD

Step by step

Among all books on autism or ADD I've ever read, this book best fits my feelings. There are several aspects imformative how to live a social life with ADD. On the other hand, contents whole reffers to a couple of cases from employees at workplace to CEOs or founders. This shows, I think, the author intend to let us, ADDers, know how we are going on. Step by step is essential. I wish Dr.Grossberg to write down a new one on ADD based upon brain science viewpoints.
