"This book is brilliant in that it explains how the brain functions differently in people with ADD/ADHD (of all ages). Many of their behaviors are not chosen or on purpose and they shouldn't be punished or humiliated for them. It is just their brain chemistry! Highly recommend for all teachers and anyone who cares about those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. It could be life-saving for teens/adults who have it. I know; it saved my husband's life and our marriage!"
