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

The absolute best book out there for an introduction to ADD. The structure of the book is perfectly managable for an ADDer without being condescendingly superficial or taking on a tone of talking to children, like some of these books do. I'd also recommend it to anyone who has friends or family who either doubt the existence of or (just don't know much about) ADD.
Check out Hallowell's "Delivered" for more coping mechanisms, and info on treatment, therapy and medication.

If you wish to become more informed on the topic of ADD and ADHD,then this book is a "must read". The format is easy to read and understand. The reader can identify with one or more of the many examples and scenarios outlined in the book. I found it to be extremely helpful in understanding what ADD is really all about and what it feels like for my daughter to live with ADD.
In addition, I now recognize symptoms of adult ADD as well.

Obviously not good enough to catch an ADD reader's attention! Maybe if it was a picture book. . .

The book has some good ideas but I didn't find it to be easy reading - I had to force myself to keep reading, of course, that's part of the problem they're talking about.

Written in language that the layman can understand, this is a wonderful, uplifting book for anyone who is coping with ADHD. It is insightful, thoughtful, with great examples, and encouraging. An excellent book!
