Summary: Undiagnosed and Unnoticed Complications
Comment: For women who are less likely to be diagnosed, perhaps because they internalize symptoms and attempt to overcompensate for the difficulties, they are likely to be looked upon by spouses as more childlike, and be subject to the perception that they need greater parental care than others. It's possible that males with the problem are accepted in society as alpha male characters rather than having problems, and because of the high energy levels associated with the difficulties, may be idolized by society. These and other issues may be topics of future analysis that have long been a part of American culture that emphasizes individuality and freedom that may mask symptoms or misdiagnose them than what they actually are. In spousal relationships, it's possible that many dominance factors work in favor of men in such an environment, and may be detrimental to self development of women. Looking at these issues might be a social concern that needs to be addressed that have only recently become noticeable as women take to the workplace and "in view" in significant numbers.

Summary: Extremely valuable for people with ADD
Comment: I have ADD and have been looking for a book which gives insights into the causes of ADD, in order to help me self-manage the condition effectively. This is a serious book, written for medical professionals, but with the aid of medical dictionary, I discovered valuable information I have found nowhere else. If you're not familiar with medical terminology, you (like me) will probably find it tough going, but its worth persisting. I have found the information useful in modifying diet, handling ignorant medical professionals, and reading other medical literature. If you have ADD, aren't getting enough from superficial self help books, want to know what's behind our condition and are ready to work to get through the occasional medical jargon, I recommend this book to you.

Summary: Not very ADD friendly
Comment: This book has some very good information about ADD. I don't think it was actually written for a person with ADD to read. For somebody who claims to know so much about ADD, he does not know how to write a book that a person with ADD to actually read through.
It may be full of great information but seems very hard for the average ADDer reader to stay focussed on.
The author has very negative view on ADD. There was not any mention of the positve aspects of ADD like Thom Hartman and Lynn Weiss have in their books. I was disapointed by this book.
There was very little mention of ADD with out hyperactivity or innatentive ADD.
There was very little mention of ways to manage ADD other than medication.
