This book came very highly recommended from the doctor who diagnosed my ADHD.
I found the discussion and clarification of different symptoms and side effects of ADHD deeply enlightening. I have noticed many commonalities in myself and my family (between kids, school, jobs, and relationships). Several have been at least partially addressed in the case studies presented. I also found the discussion of management therapies (medications, therapy tactics, certain routine building, etc) very informative and helpful.

Really, really tired of the fat hate and the continued dismissal of women and POC.
