Rating: Summary: I'll show you my disease if you show me yours! Respond Review: That made me laugh. I have to ask do you believe in AIDS? Do you believe in cancer? Do you think people in wheel chairs can walk? If so way? Have you had any of them? Do you really know what they are like? How do you know they are real? How because science tells you and that same science also has done brain scans on people with AD/HD and has proven that it is real. So I know people without ADD can have some traits of ADD like forgetting things, sure some people can be just like that but when you forget your own birthday, always lose your keys etc, never organised, can't concentrate for more then about 2 minutes, never on time for anything, poor sleeping habits, trouble learning what others find easy etc would you like me to go on? If they sound like normal people to me god help us all.

Rating: Summary: This book is even more distracting! Review: This might be a fabulous book,but it's not an easy read for people who dont know what ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER really is. I have a boyfriend who has this disorder,and more,and it's very difficult to keep track of his everchanging mood swings,and finding the truth in everythings he talks about. ADD if diagnosed propperly and accurately is very hard to live with,but many people use it as a crutch to lie,or so that you would feel compassionate towards them. This book however was distracting me!,but gave me a great overvieuw about the medication,and how to manage without the medication. Anyone whos comfronted with ADD should give this book a try. from ALTER EGOin Tulsa OK
Rating: Summary: A Step in the Right Direction Review: This tape along with it's predecessor Driven To Distraction are must "reads". Like many others that are faced with the fact that they have ADHD or ADD, I too have difficulty getting through an entire book that is so full of information. But this audio version was a savior for me. I am a firm believer in books on tape and these ones helped me learn about myself so fully that it brought tears to my eyes (thankfully I wasn't driving at the time). I have two sons that have been diagnosed with ADD and have made marked improvement in school since we found out and started treating them. But these tapes helped me focus on the fact that I too suffer from the disorder and how it has channelled my life through the years. I would whole heartedly reccommend these tapes for anyone that has an interest in these disorders, from teachers to parents to sufferers like myself. Also the books by Russell A Barkley, he is a VERY thoughtful man that also has tapes available.
