Joanne is meant to be writing a report for her boss at work but she is struggling to finish it; Bob keeps working on a number of projects at once, but finds it difficult to concentrate on them for any period or time; Wayne is upset because he has just had a huge fight with his wife and he doesn't know why it happened; Julie feels anxious and uncertain when she goes down town in her lunch break and Marcia can never seem to straighten her house or remember if she had made dinner for the family. If you are going through anything similar in your life then you, like the people above could suffer from ADD or ADHD. Although typically viewed as a children's condition more and more adults are being diagnosed with the ADD or ADHD every year. Some studies estimate that one in five American adults is impacted by ADD/ADHD to varying degrees. In many cases adults will have experienced difficulties in school and social situations but were not diagnosed or may have been misdiagnosed with something like Bi-polar disorder, depression, manic depression, and anxiety or anger issues. Now these people are adults trying to cope with the added pressures that come with adult life and that is plain not easy to do! My hope is that this book will not only be read by adults who are confused about why their life, work and relationships aren't going the way they intended but also by people who are in a relationship with someone who has ADD or Adult ADHD, or perhaps works with people who are more creatively inclined than deadline driven. Two of my three step-children were diagnosed, one with ADD and one with ADHD. I bought them up from ages 4 and 10 respectively, through into adulthood and I am very proud of both of them not so much for what they have achieved, but of how they cope with the issues of daily life. They have not had a hassle free journey and there are some things that are never going to be easy for them. But the great thing about ADD or ADHD in adults is that we do have more understanding of why we do the things we do - or we do when we get the answers to the right questions.
