Dr Thomas Brown is really well known and respected for all of his work for ADHD and in this book he brings his knowledge both academic and reality of living with the condition through all he has learnt from patients into a great book to span through from childhood into adulthood.
The book itself is grounded by the scientific details of ADHD but it is just right for those of us who find books that are either too scientific or medical difficult to read as the author uses plain language to talk in detail of all of the aspects of life for the person with ADHD.
I am sure that as people read this book will find themselves reading about themselves or those they are either living, working with or love on virtually every page. The challenges that are faced with everyday life are covered from childhood through to adults which is fantastic as it gives ideas for families on how to help a child overcome some of the challenges they may face as they grow up and also for the adults it gives ideas how to work with things now.
The author talks about the correct treatment and monitoring for those with ADHD and how important it is to get this right to give the optimum benefit and also dismisses a lot of the myths that surround ADHD which is vital.
In all this is a must for parents to help their child, adults to help them learn more, teachers to enable them to help students and medical professionals to help with the recognition and evaluation procedure.
In all a book for everyone who wants to know and understand more about ADHD from someone who has done many years of work within the world of ADHD.
