- Breve biografia
- I graduated from the University of Michigan and then spent 20 years in the San Francisco Bay Area where I earned a Masters Degree in clinical counseling at California State University. I became licensed as a marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and served as the specialist on adult AD/HD for the Family Service Agency of Marin County, California. I currently serve on the professional advisory board of the National Attention Deficit Disorder Association. I was proud to have been the 1996 recipient of this association’s award for outstanding service by a helping professional. (LMFT)

I wish this book approached at ADHD PI with a less genderized perspective. I expect ADHD PI is under-diagnosed and misdiagnosed across all genders, although it disproportionately affects women since it's the more common form found in women. There's also a lot of unnecessary heteronormative and traditional gender role ideas throughout the book.
I found it hard to keep the fictional bio stories straight throughout the book since they were spaced so far apart. Seems kind of ironic for a book about ADHD.… (altro)
