Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood by John J. Ratey, Edward M. Hallowell

If you are starting to learn about ADD/ADHD (say, if you or someone close to you was recently diagnosed) this is an *excellent* starting point. It does a ton to dispel the 90s mentality of what many folks think of ADHD (a hyperactive little boy who shouts and runs and makes a scene) and paints a more realistic picture of what it can look like in different people, how it manifests in men vs. women, adults vs. children. This is a great resource.
