ADD/ADHD books

Below are the best books we could find on ADD/ADHD.

Life is a balancing act for most people, but for those with ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) it can feel downright chaotic. ADHD symptoms can vary widely from person to person, with the general outcome that controlling impulses, making plans, following routine, keeping track of time, and mastering focus can be a real struggle. At the same time, those with ADHD are often counted on to be creative, spontaneous, and good at thinking about things in new or nonstandard ways. An ADHD diagnosis does not indicate intelligence or capability; it is merely a description of brain activity patterns. Those of us with ADHD are not inherently lazy, sloppy, or unprofessional; we just process and prioritize the world differently than others. Thanks to advances in research and greater understanding around neurodiversity, strategies can be developed for living a life with less stress and celebrating the advantages that an ADHD brain can provide.
