Summary: This is the light at the end of the tunnel!
Review: When I found this book I was in a panic state not knowing how I could cope with being an A.D.D. parent of 2 A.D.D. children. This book has information that will affirm the strengths that are found within an A.D.D. adult and provides new insight in handling the day to day stresses involved in parenting. As a self proclaimed "Poster Child" for Adults with A.D.D. I must recommend this book to every woman coping with this "adventure"!

Summary: ESSENTIAL reading for ADD in women
Review: Women face an incredible wall of disbelief from professionals when it comes to the diagnosis of ADD. This book acknowledges the additional gender-based expectations women face, exacerbating our difficulties, when it is a struggle just to meet the basic demands of daily life. Clearly explains what ADD is and is not, helps sort through the tangle step by step. Undiagnosed ADD can have us running ourselves ragged with no explanation, no hope of an answer, and "no excuse" for our problems. This book sheds light in so many areas that will never apply to the lives of men in this society. For women coming to terms with ADD, this is a MUST READ. Brings to light our disjointed lives, striving hard to hide the depth of our incompetence, hiding the mess at home and at work, the frantic behind-the-scenes scramble to keep up with the demands of everyday life. Gives hope and courage in the face of professional ignorance and reluctance to believe women, especially WITHOUT hyperactivity. It felt like my life was spread out before me in the pages of this book. Clearly delineated a struggle I thought was mine alone. When your friends and your therapist are saying "Oh, EVERYONE thinks they are ADD", tune in to this book. Let it be your guide in the search for an answer.

Summary: Sari Solden pioneers new territory with her book. Buy it!
Review: Women with Attention Deficit Disorder is truly an outstanding book. We've known for years that children could have attention deficit disorder. But for far too long, it was assumed that during adolescence or shortly thereafter, the problem was somehow outgrown. Then, when people finally started realizing that maybe ADD did not magically go away before adulthood, it was assumed that nearly every adult with ADD was male. After all, girls don't get ADD, right? WRONG!Women with Attention Deficit Disorder pioneers important information with an underlying major message: adult women can and do have attention deficit disorder. And it can be a tough road too. But after educating readers that not only children, but also adult women can have ADD, Solden offers advice and hope for readers. As a fellow woman with ADD, I salute Ms. Solden and strongly recommend her A+ book. Her book is a must-read. Christine Adamec Author, Moms with ADD.

Summary: This book was talking about me!!!
Review: Yes, there are people with ADD who aren't hyperactive! This book was highly enlightening to me for two reasons. First of all, it talked about the 'hypoactive' kind of ADD- the kind without the H(yperactivity). Secondly, it dealt specifically with adults and the struggles adults face dealing with ADD. And third, the fact that it was specific to women was also very helpful. Like I said earlier, I felt like the book was talking about me, as if it had me as a source or something (well, except for the parts specific to married people with children). If you are a woman and think you might have ADD, read this book. If you know a woman with ADD (or ADHD), read this book. If you know me, read this book! I'm not alone in this after all! Wow!
