Summary: Gives new meaning to "We Are Not Alone"
Comment: This superbly compiled work was actually used by an M.D. as a substantial part of the dignostic process in evaluating possible ADD syndrome. Having read many self-help books trying to deal with personal trials and foibles, this book HIT HOME! Written by two psychologists who personally experience the frustrations of living with adult ADD, this title made for compelling reading. Imagine finding a description of yourself on every other page!!?? Concise, but personable case studies reveal numerous commonalities amongst ADDers. Rounded out with a detailed history of the discovery of ADD, the research pioneers, treatment plans, hope for the future, and a well thought out section on Resources, including support groups, newsletters, etc. Just Read It!

Summary: Must-read for people dealing with an ADDer who is in denial
Comment: My boyfriend and I met 12 years ago, but we started dating only two years ago. About two months into our relationship, I started experiencing some very exasperating moments with him and it dawned on me that he had ADD. I had only heard about ADD in the mid-80s, with all the big magazine cover stories. Ever since my observation, I have been begging him to get intervention, but he is in major denial. He has promised at times, forgotten at other times (typical) and been rebellious other times. He recently left me in my time of need (typical) for no good reason. With the loss of me, he is finally willing to get the inventory and listen to the doctor that will say that ADD causes relational dischord and treating it can save our relationship. WITHOUT THIS BOOK, I would feel a lot crazier and be a lot more depressed. This book is an easy read, with valuable charts and lists and covers just about EVERY thought I've had on the subject. My friend went out with someone who had ADD. She said she started thumbing through this book while her boyfriend was in the shower one day and she didn't stop reading until she finished it. So get this book, and see a counselor so the counselor can refer the ADDer to a good doctor for an inventory. Good luck.

Summary: Great, Great Book!
Comment: I found out that I had A.D.D between my freshman and sophmore year in high school. My entire freshman year was a screaming match between me and my teachers, and me and my parents. All the encouragement I ever got as "you need to take study skills" or "you're not trying at all" or my favorite, the commonly used "you are lazy and dont want to work, plain and simple!" I came across "Driven to Distraction" while working on a biology project during my sophmore year. I felt myself being pulled into it after only six pages. I found that i could relate to alot of the people, especially Jim. It helped me gain a better understanding for my A.D.D and boosted my confidence ten-fold. I would recommend "Driven to Distraction" to anyone with A.D.D, friends and family of those with A.D.D, and those who just want to learn more about it.
