This is an extremely encouraging book. It highlights the facts about ADHD and the blessings that come with it. It made me realise that people with ADHD are very talented and brilliant...I would recommend it to anyone who has a child with ADHD or teachers who deal with these children all of the time.

So there are 3 subtypes of ADHD :
- Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
- Predominantly Inattentive Type
- Combined Type

What I learnt - The child who drifts away unnoticed. That one. Keep a close eye.

Book offers wonderful insights (both anecdotal and scientific) into the condition and suggestions for experiencing success with these kids.

Not a bad book on ADHD but not the best either. It did encourage me though.

Best book on ADHD I've read and the most encouraging and reasonable. This is not a disease or a disorder, generally speaking, but it is a different way that the brain works.
