Summary: Finally a book that applies to my daughter's ADHD
Comment: This is the first book that I have read that everything clicks. In other books there has always been a few areas that applied but I was always left wondering about alot of my daughter's behavior. This books covers many of her problems, such has why her hands are always at her mouth, or why she will only eat certain foods. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a girl who has ADHD. Since I don't know anyone else who has a daughter with ADHD, this book has opened my eyes and explained several types of behavior that I didn't think were ADHD related. I hope as time goes on more studies will be made of girls with ADHD, it would be really helpful to those of us raising these girls.

Summary: Excellent overview of the issues faced by girls with AD/HD
Comment: Understanding Girls with AD/HD, Nadeau, Littman and Quinn This book discusses how attention deficit disorder may manifest itself in girls from preschool to late adolescence. The authors identify types of ADHD girls. Active girls may act like tomboys. They may socialize with boys. They are active, and may engage in impulsive escapades. Another group of girls shows their ADHD by talkativeness and excessive socializing. They too may become involved in risky behavior. Some girls with ADHD seem to fade into the background. They are shy and inattentive. They may have few friends and are more likely to be depressed. The last group is often escapes diagnosis until adolescence or adulthood. These are the very smart girls who have the ability to put in an extraordinary effort to hyper-focus. Adults see them as achievers but are often unaware of the anxiety and extreme effort the such girls use in order to compensate for their inattentiveness. Such girls are often anxious and self-critical. This is an excellent resource for parents and adolescents. I have only one criticism. The screening checklists in each chapter are fairly non-specific. The lists highlight the fact that ADHD may manifest itself differently in girls. However, some of the items on the lists can be caused by other conditions.

Summary: An Indispensible Resource for the Family of the ADHD Girl
Comment: After several months of trying to determine what was wrong with my daughter and having her professionally evaluated, we learned she has ADHD. I did have some knowledge of this condition, primarily as it relates to boys. Reading Nadeau's book has been a liberating experience for me and so enlightening as I've grown in my awareness of the many facets of ADHD as it applies to females. She describes in very practical terms the challenges such a girl is likely to face daily, as well as the talents she might have. The book is HOPEFUL. I saw my daughter in this book. I intend to share it with our pediatrician and will spread the word about this book.
