Attention Deficit Disorder – ADD + ADHD Information

Out of all of the attention deficit disorder books I’ve ever read, the book Driven To Distraction was by far and away the best.

Now before you run off and go get the book, let me explain why it was the best book written on attention deficit disorder, in my humble opinion…

The authors have attention deficit disorder themselves, the book is co-authored by 2 doctors who not only studied this for years but have firsthand knowledge of what its like to have “ADD”, and it is very useful and insightful for adults and children with attention deficit disorder, and very helpful for parent of children with ADD.

Imagine if your child had some sort of disease and it was an entirely new notion to you and you knew nothing about it…

What would be the first thing you would do?

Read up on it of course.  So when some school teachers suggested that we have our son tested, we aske dif there were any books that might help us understand this issue and health concern a little bit better.

There were two attention deficit disorder books recommended to us, but the one I remember most vividly is the one called Drive To Distraction.

After I was finished reading this book, I was absolutely stunned, and thrilled.

STUNNED….

Because it explained a lot about my life, my personality traits, why my shortcomings” were really just symptomatic of what most people with attention deficit disorder experience.

THRILLED…

Because so many things were now explained to me and a sens eof clarity of serenity came over me, and also because I realized that if I could go through life and be somewhat successful in a lot of different things witohut medication, that my child would be just fine now that these “behavioral traits” had a name and disorder attached to them.
