This book gives the most effective and understand-able description of the life situations, thought processes, and what it's really like to be an adult ADD so that a person who is NOT adult ADD can grasp a bit of what it really is - descriptions that even someone who really doesn't have a clue - in every day - average joe kind of terms, with no medical jargon or words you have to look up.

My attempt to come to understand what ADD is all about has proved helpful thanks to this little book. This is the first book I read on the topic, and I found it informative and educational. It is geared towards those who struggle with the disorder, with its simple format, its gentle repetition of items, its lack of huge medical terms and concepts, and its call to co-workers and peers for sympathy towards the person handicapped in this unique fashion. I openly recommend it to anyone searching for a primer on the topic.

A good complement to the ADD Bible 'Driven to Distraction', 'Adult ADD' provides a more balanced, objective overview of the disorder called Attention Deficit Disorder. It is not biased, and fits its boast to be 'made for the ADDer'. This book also helps introduce non-ADDers to the fact that there is such a thing as ADD. Those who don't believe that ADD is real are illogical and are too emotional, and their minds are closed to new facts discovered after a long period of mindless human self-shrouding.

This book shows that there is a possibility to use psychology as a tool for duping people. Most sincere psychologists do not believe that Adult ADD exists for it, apparently, involves metabolic/chemical traits only found in youth.Don't buy this book and don't buy into the idea. Ask you psychologist for evidence!

I am very glad I found this book. At a time that I am upset about my past, confused about the present and hopeful about the future, this book is helping me understand the condition I was diagnosed with - ADD. Having just started my treatment, I was looking for a book that I could use to learn more about ADD. Still having difficulty in focusing and being patient enough to read well, I found this book designed in a way that helped me comprehend the information. Lists, highlighed areas, short paragraphs, fairly large print and other editing with an ADD reader in mind was greatly appreciated! The tips provided on addressing ADD related problems in many aspects of life are great. So many times I would directly relate to the stated problem and be so relieved as I continued to read the suggestions on handling the situation. I wish to publicly thank the authors of this book and ask them to consider an update or follow-up edition.
