Description:

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric illness among children. An estimated 10 percent of school-age boys are currently on Ritalin. At age four, Ann Colin's son Willie was charming, bright, belligerent ... and kicked out of preschool. Willie, written in the form of a journal, is an interesting and often moving story about parenting an ADD child--diagnosis problems, psychiatrists, drug trials. Colin, writing from the perspective of a middle-class Manhattanite who wants Willie to achieve, moves from fear and uncertainty to finding the care and school situation that is right for him. She asks, "What is normal and by whose definition?"
