Driven to Distraction, by Edward M Hallowell

[sophia_sol]

A book about ADHD that I think would be more suitable for a person who is just first facing the idea that they or their child might have ADHD. It contains a LOT of descriptions of case studies of people with the diagnosis, which might help people new to the idea to recognise themself in these descriptions, but I mostly found it boring. Only a small part of the book is dedicated to giving you things to do help manage your ADHD, and (other than things like getting professional help and medication) the tips were largely so high-level as to not really be actionable.

So, not helpful to me, but I can see that this book might have a use to people needing a basic introduction.
