Such a great resource!!!

Recently diagnosed adult here - and this was was so unbelievably enlightening for me. I went in expecting one diagnosis and left with Severe ADHD Combined - and knew nothing about it really. This book walks through everything I had questions about, and then so much more. Much appreciated.
Audio review- very easy to listen to, and very clearly spoken. Very impressed.

Covers traits of ADHD that othe books do not.

I found this book to be the most helpful so far in understanding parts of me that me that I did not know were also ADHD traits.

called out

this was another long book to get through that I can't seem to focus on without doing something else with my hands.

identified with almost all of the criteria for diagnosis and the coping mechanisms offered seem interesting! but also silly. but definitely worth a listen to if you're curious about potentially having the condition and other coping mechanisms

Amazing

I'm sltrying to get a diagnosis as an adult of 33. there is so much useful knowledge in here that I never knew and has helped me in figuring out how to explain my symptoms and know other symptoms I didn't know where even related to adhd. thank you for this book.

Basic review of ADHD

This book is best for individuals new to ADHD and those who need to short their understanding regarding the basic foundation and symptoms related to ADHD.

Definitely to elementary for clinicians unless the provider is uninitiated regarding this disorder.

For those with a solid understanding of ADHD there are still several valuable nuggets of information provided in this book but requires reading through the foundational material to find those nuggets.

Really helpful

The tips for dealing with adhd were very helpful if only I can remember them! I need to take notes with this book while I'm not driving sometime to really get the most out of it.

Spot on

This was so accurate. I felt seen. I would definitely recommend this to anyone else with ADHD.

Very Insightful Read!

Fascinating book! It explains very thoroughly the disorder and all of its nuances, as well as illustrating the neurological causes for the various symptoms. Well written with great examples!

Helped me understand

Helped me realize how lucky I am that I didn’t fall into most of pitfalls other people do.

Very helpful.

Extremely thorough. Abundant information, helps, and resources. Good examples and symptom lists. Easy to follow and understand.
