Summary: A Book that Reassures and Guides
Comment: I picked this book up while cruising the bookstore for books on ADD, which both my son and I have. When I started reading, I had to put it down and go get a pencil. I underlined everything that was me--the book ended up looking like a flat zebra. In spite of myself I tend to feel ashamed, as though I have bad character, so to have a book addressed specifically to how ADD would look in a woman was wonderful. It isn't just that many women experience it differently than men, but also that the kinds of situations we find ourselves in are different. (Housecleaning!!!!!Nurturing!!!) Only down side, only not really, was that I had my then fiance, a psychologist, read it. He gave it back and said grumpily "this says you have no intention of changing." He's history now and I'm married to a lovely man who is more disorganized than I am.

Summary: Relief and Confirmation, but the diagrams are awful!
Comment: I am just now exploring the very strong possibility that I am ADD. This is the first book on the subject I've read and am relieved reading about other women whose situations and experiences are so close to mine. The book uncannily described and pinned down so many things I've felt and endured and have been struggling with for so long now. My ONE complaint though is the unrelevant and needless "demonstrative" flow charts and diagrams and horribly distracting clip art! These bothered me so much as a reader, detracting greatly from an otherwise informative and enlightening book. Perhaps the author felt these would be helpful to ADD readers, but I found them absolutely irritating! Aside from this, the book has helped me understand myself from a whole new perspective and is prompting me to seek the help I've needed for so long.

Summary: helpful info but annoying presentation
Comment: I have noticed that ADD/ADHD books tend to be written with lots of subject headings and illustrations. They feel "crowded" to read. Is this for the ADD/ADHD clients,or because that's how the author thinks? In either case, Ms. Solden, for me, has written a book I can hardly read. All the right info is there and it's presented thoroughly, yet I can't get past the too-crowded layout, starting with the front cover, the simplistic and even patronising (or childish) illustrations and charts, and the reiterations. Mis-spellings, sub-par grammar, and overuse of quotation marks made the text cluttered for me. HOWEVER, her moderately feminist perspective and analysis of women's unique ADD issues is on target. I just wish i could read it... Similar Books:
