As an adult who suffers from ADHD,
I feel bad saying this, but it was an almost complete waste of time. Stories stories and more stories about this doctors patients. Perhaps some will lock on to a particular story in this book that titillates them and bestows insight, but not me. Furthermore, the abundance of clinical parlance made me zone right out. Which seems to allude to the fact that this book is meant to be read by folks who have loved ones w ADHD. Not people suffering from it. At the end there's a weak attempt to provide coping strategies, but it's so lame, it almost seems like an afterthought.

Best Book on ADHD
I take in a lot of books on ADHD and this is the first I've found to take seriously the emotional impact of the disorder. It also skips the pandering that other books often have about gifts in disguise and hidden talents while still maintaining a positive message about what it's like to live with ADHD.
