Search - Driven To Distraction : Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood

This is perhaps THE one book you need to address your own or someone else's ADHD. It was enormously helpful to me in dealing with my daughter. Do read it.

An excellent reference source on ADD, with good information for adults as well as children, including the inattentive type as well as hyperactive type.

The authors employ a broad, general definition of ADD ("high-energy, action-oriented, bottom-line, gotta-run-type people") and continually emphasize the special, positive qualities of people with ADD. They describe how ADD affects adults--many Americans mistakenly think of it as a childhood curse--and explain how the American temperament helps create ADD-like symptoms. Best of all are the stories and case studies of myriad folks who have dealt successfully with their diagnosis. A state-by-state list of support groups are included in this excellent approach to an intriguing subject.

So much information about ADD in adults (and also all ages). If you have any wonder about how ADD affects an adult...you need this book. AND, if you live with any that have you infuriated, this might help you to realize that it really is the way they are 'wired.' Very helpful book.

One of the most informative books on ADD. Anyone wishing to start should start here with this book.

Probably the best book on dealing with ADD for the layperson.
