For those lucky enough to have been born with the most blessed curse known as ADHD, trying to live as a round peg in a square hole world can be a challenge regardless of the size of hammer you use! Everyday it’s a new adventure! You enter a grocery store to buy a box of pasta and you leave with $150 worth of groceries (but no pasta). Now you participate in a little game called “where the heck did I park my car.” Once you have won that game you now have to convince your significant other that he/she/it can use the #5 of apples or the head of cabbage or the 25lb box of donuts to substitute for pasta in the spaghetti dish they were making. While on your way back to the grocery store to get the pasta you were sent out to get in the first place you get mad at yourself. “Why cannot my brain work?” One of the many “battle cries” of an ADHDer.. After I became an official ADHDer I came across a lot of wonderful sources of information, however issues with them were not uncommon. A number of authors did not have ADD/ADHD which is not a bad thing, but it can be when you are a person without ADD/ADHD writing in a style easily understood by a person without ADD/ADHD - great resource for those in our lives but not for us. Then there is the length of the material! Expecting somebody with a short attention span to read several hundred pages is a stretch especially when they’ve lost their attention by page 40. The purpose of this little book is to give pointers and tips to help relieve some of the chaos we ADHDers face on a daily basis. It represents over 40 years of learning from bad decisions, bad mistakes and figuring out a better way of doing things with a little bit of humor (or “humour” for our English brethren) thrown in. Here is some of the wonderful feedback already received: “That’s very nice Dwayne.” – Some lady that looked like my mom but she was not paying attention “I wish I had this when I was 9 years old!” – Myself “Yes sir that is a nice looking book, but did do you know you were doing 60 in a 45 zone?” – Officer Brantley This book is not one of the magical cure-alls you see on late night TV, it’s just a book that hopefully will alleviate some of the chaos and frustration in an ADHDer’s life.
