quinn13 's review for:
You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!: A Self-Help Book for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder
by Peggy Ramundo, Kate Kelly
In the forward for the updated edition, the authors talked about how well they felt the original held up (first written in the 1990s).
It does not hold up as well as they think. Their work advice largely boils down to "just change careers" and "find ways to live well on less money so that you can go part-time" and...in THIS economy?! Not great advice in 2020. They also use a lot of examples where the person with ADHD is either a stay-at-home parent or has a partner who is (and yes, the stay-at-home person is always a woman in these examples).
Some of the strategies in other arenas are useful, but honestly, I didn't get anything out of this book that I hadn't already gotten for free online.
