Extremely helpful guide for the ADHD or the supportive people around them. This book is written in a style customized for the ADHD reader. Key points include that every disadvantage has a positive counterpoint, that the turn-around begins with recognition and curiosity, and that those affected by ADHD can learn to harness their special superpowers.

This book explained a lot about my 58 years. I especially appreciated the explanation of what's happening in the brain to generate the thought processes and behaviors associated with ADHD. The suggestions for managing (and capitalizing on) ADHD are practical and the discussion of pharmaceutical options is thorough. I read a library copy but I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying a copy to share, annotate, and refer to in the future.

I picked this book up years ago because of the title. Since then I have read about the controversy of the experts & self-diagnosis, but the stories in this book opened our eyes up to issues we were dealing with. We were able to understand that the struggles with ADD symptoms were common. It was a major breakthrough.

I've wanted to read this book for sometime simply because of the title. I mean, who can't identify with that?

I enjoyed all of it, even though I keep saying I hate memoirs. This one was quite well done - honest, but never self-aggrandizing, never cruel or bitter, and seemed rather insightful. It was rather like a cross between Oliver Sacks and Jeannette Walls.

Recommended to anyone who enjoys memoirs or is interested in psychology or psychiatry. Or, of course, has a crazy family.
