Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder

This book is very informative for anyone who has ADD or knows someone who suffers from this disorder.

I was recently diagnosed with ADD, I am a 27 year old female and it was a long road to a diagnosis.

After years of living bellow my capabilities and failing at everything I tried, i read this book and it seemed to tell my life story. Everything seemed so clear now, why I couldn't hold a job, be on time, finish college. I don't know why a doctor never noticed this before.

When I went to my psychitrist the thought of me having ADD was dissmessed, probably because I am not hyperactive, I am female and an adult. But I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was my problem, because of this book.

I fought to get treatment and a diagnosis. After half a year of trying, I am on meds and in therepy and my whole life has changed. I am about to graduate, I am cleaner, and more punctual.

While drugs don't give you the skills to be organized or punctual or make good grades, they do give you the ability to finally master such skills.

The book had alot of helpful tips, a section on relationships and ADD, which was also very helpful to me and my husband. Anyway, just get the book, you will not be sorry.

This book was rather large but I found myself reading through every chapter that even slightly pertained to me. The author is ADHD and you really feel that as you are reading this book. Chapters are mostly very short so you can pick it up read and chapter or two then go about life and come back.

Book touches on a lot of subject and isn't clinical at all in how it presents information.

The book is an entertaining and informative read. Since i have not read any other books on the subject i cannot give it a higher rating with nothing to compare it to.

As a parent of an ADHD teenager I was looking for aditional help, this book did that, plus aloud me to realize that I have ADHD too, but not to worry it is normal to "have it".
