Sample Book Insights:

#1 The first comment from the adult with ADHD describes the serious time management problems that ADHD creates for adults in their daily lives. It’s difficult to maintain a sense of adult accomplishment and competence when people around you think they can’t count on you to get things done.

#2 There is a lot you can do to change your life for the better if you think you have ADHD. The more questions you answered yes to, the more likely it is that you have ADHD. It can make you spend your paycheck on something fun right now, and never save enough money for your monthly or annual bill payments or for that vacation or car or house you’ll want even more tomorrow than the purchase that seemed irresistible today.

#3 There is a lot of evidence that shows that adults with ADHD are more limited in their lives than other people. They are also more easily affected by the disorder, and there are many treatments available.

#4 The adults with ADHD that I’ve studied, diagnosed, and treated have varying memories of the types of problems they had as children. Some were not diagnosed as kids, because their pediatrician didn’t believe ADHD was real or their parents didn’t think being hyper was a reason to take their child to the doctor.
