She talks openly about her own battles with Attention Deficit
Disorder and outlines how she and others have survived. Her book is user
friendly, including lots of lists and visual aids. It can be read as a
resource rather than page by page. Chapters include material on self-esteem,
running a household, organization and time management, the work world,
learning strategies, and spirituality.
 "I always knew I was hyperactive. My mother didn't take me to church
nursery or send me to Sunday school because she was too embarrassed by
my wild behavior. Rumor had it at church that I was 'slow,' and my
parents were keeping me in hiding. I drove the teacher in my one-room
schoolhouse to distraction with my constant interruptions, and my mother was
always in tears over the things I ruined... As I read case
studies, interviewed people, and reflected on my life, a startling pattern
began to emerge. Not only was I hyperactive, but I was also quite
clearly impulsive and distractible. I have spent a lifetime developing
strategies and learning to manage my own ADHD." —:from the Introduction
