I need to read this book. And then I need a copy for everyone in my immediate family.

At least we all understand each other and get along bouncing from one thing to another. I just pity anyone that has to spend a significant period of time with us.

I'm on this tour too and found this book very informative and most importantly, positive. I do have an ADHDer in my life, more than one in fact. This book will be a great tool to utilize to further my understanding of their struggles and to celebrate their assets and growth in working with ADHD.

I love that you have found ways to deal with the issues your ADD raises. I think that if more people thought of ADD/ADHD as a tool or ability rather than a disability, we would see a lot more creativity from people with that diagnosis … but that's just my opinion. 🙂

Thanks for being on the tour!

seeing as we have 3 ADHD (and one sort of) out of 5 kids in our house, this book would be well-used if it made it's way to us. we feel the same way–it's not a disorder, just different than "average". wish i had the sense of humor, energy, and stamina my ADHDers have!

I'm not sure if I am, but I am a procrastinator & I waste time getting caught up in other projects when there is a larger project looming over my head…maybe I am now that I think of it. I love your maid costume!

Andrew was diagnosed with ADD about 2 months ago after 7 years of struggling in academic settings. I did not know about the procrastination thing but it fits him perfectly. He is on medicine right now but I am hoping to learn behavioral coping skills he can use so the medicine is not long term

Although he's never been officially diagnosed, I suspect my dad is ADHD. He has many of the signs. It's made being his child a trying experience to say the least.

My middle son has ADD and I have never treated him differently, I just let everyone of his teachers know that he was a sight learner and that if they took a moment and showed him that they would be amazed. He is now 24 years old working towards saving money for college and his future. He has rebuilt an entire engine along with all of the electrical completely on his own and is amazing in his own right. Love this son and it's wonderful to see that only those things that you let hold you back will hold you back.

I'm always looking on ways to learn more about ADHD for my hubby and son (and I'm about 95% sure my daughter too, but she's a little too young for an official diagnosis yet!) and every little bit helps. Not having it myself, it's hard to know how to deal with things sometimes, but I'm learning – and finally beginning to understand my husband too! After nearly 12 years, he's finally starting to make sense, most of the time. 🙂 This book sounds like a great read, one that would really help me work with my family. Thanks for reviewing it!
