This book is written specifically for teenagers with ADHD. Most teens with ADHD are not going to have the patience to read through a long textbook. This book is different. The author has attempted to make this book as easy as possible to read. It is organized in a question and answer format. Instead of having to read the entire book, the read can just skip to the chapters and questions that are of interest. Many useful suggestions for coping with ADHD are included.
This book is proving to be a very useful resource for teens, teachers, and parents. The author believes that the more you know about ADHD, the easier it will be to cope with the disorder. Many teenagers resist being treated for ADHD (and other disorders) because they do not understand what the disorder is and why medication and/or counselling may be helpful. Chapters on learning disabilities are included because these conditions are often seen in teenagers with ADHD. The audiotape includes book excerpts read by two teenagers.
