My daughter was diagnosed with ADD when she in elementary school. It was a tough battle with the school system and late nights of crying doing homework. When we decided to take college classes, she called me and told me she still had ADD like she was surprised it had not gone away. She has had to find ways to deal with being an adult without medication on her own. This is a book I wish was around when she was becoming an adult. It could have provided her guidance for dealing with the stress of having a brain that processes the world differently. The exercises are short and easy to follow. If you have ADHD or know someone diagnosed with it, this book will help. I highly recommend this book.
