Maybe You Know My Kid offers a thoughtful and practical perspective on understanding ADHD in children. Written in an accessible and compassionate style, the book provides guidance that many parents, educators, and caregivers are likely to find helpful. Its emphasis on empathy, communication, and evidence-informed strategies encourages meaningful conversations about supporting children with ADHD. It's a valuable resource for readers interested in learning more about neurodiversity and creating positive environments for young people.

Excellent resource to share with families who may be contemplating the likelihood that their child may have a disorder

I read this book many years ago and highlighted important things. Now I just read the highlights.
Most things can be applied to people without AD/HD.

Very clearly written.

This book helped me understand, I'm not crazy! IT also helped me to define what is "normal" boy behavior and what is tied to his ADHD.
