addh book

Borrowed this book from the library then decided after reading it that it would be better to own. I am reading it to my 13 year old son with ADHD or ADD to help him realize that you can succeed with some very helpful information. The book will benefit him as he matures and will assist him independently when he is an adult. It is a book to be read more than once and great to refer back to.

Practical

Diagnosed with ADD or another LD problem? Buy this book.Plenty has been written on LD in recent years, especially with the explosion of media coverage on ADD. Ignored by the publishers are practical, get-down-to-business how-to-live-with-LD books. Elaine McEwan has put together a collection of strategies to live with LD, ways of making life work.Anyone stumbling through broken relationships, lost employment, and a confused personal life due to ADD or LD will find McEwan's step-by-step methods right on the mark.As you read it, you might, as I did, want to think, "Of course, I know that." You might. I don't think she is putting forth any extraordinary ideas. She is, however, emphasizing the discipline of actually applying them.She covers time management, "getting along with those you love," "getting a job and keeping it," "The ABCs of Living Fully: The Spiritual Connection" plus several encouraging chapters on realizing ADD is not as tragic as it might feel. She provides ways of living life with ADD, providing hope for anyone with a litter of failures behind them.This book... another of Harold Shaw Publishers line of educational books, is easy to read, written by an expert in education who knows ADD from her own life. Her introduction, "I really do understand" is heartwarming. Smile when you nod, "Hehehe... yep... that's how it is," as she reflects on her struggles to do only one thing at a time or leave a party gracefully, etc.I fully recommend this book.Anthony Trendl

An excellent guide for adults with ADHD

This book offers a wealth on insight into the difficulties faced by adults with ADHD. The author, who has ADHD herself, gives a series of bite-sized suggestions, all of which add up to an excellent program for self-help. As a person who has a child with ADHD and works with adults with ADHD, I found this book to be informative, well-written and well worth reading. The suggestions in the book are simple, yet innovative and they come from the author's own personal experience and knowledge of this disorder. I would highly recommend this book to adults with ADHD, spouses of those with ADHD and anyone else who would like to help an adult with ADHD to gain a greater sense of control and accomplishment over his or her life.
