Since both authors have ADD themselves, and both are successful medical professionals, perhaps there's no surprise that the two myths they attack most persistently are: (a) that ADD is an issue only for children; and (b) that ADD corresponds simply to limited intelligence or limited self-discipline. "The word disorder puts the syndrome entirely in the domain of pathology, where it should not entirely be. Although ADD can generate a host of problems, there are also advantages to having it, advantages that this book will stress, such as high energy, intuitiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm, and they are completely overlooked by the 'disorder' model." The authors go on to cite Mozart and Einstein as examples of probable ADD sufferers. (The problem as they see it is not so much attention deficit but attention inconsistency: "Most of us with ADD can in fact hyperfocus at times.") Although they warn against overdiagnosis, they also do a convincing job of answering the criticism that "everybody, and therefore nobody" has ADD. Using numerous case studies and a discussion of the way ADD intersects with other conditions (e.g., depression, substance abuse, and obsessive-compulsive disorder), they paint a concrete picture of the syndrome's realities. Especially helpful are the lists of tips for dealing with ADD in a child, a partner, or a family member. --Richard FarrReviewThe New York Times Book Review A very readable, highly informative and helpful book.Judith L.

Kramer, M.D. author of Listening to Prozac Conversational in tone, encyclopedic in content, and, best of all, utterly convincing because of its grounding in clinical experience, Driven to Distraction should make Attention Deficit Disorder comprehensible even to the most distractible reader.Sandra Freed Thomas, R.N. former president of CH.A.D.D. (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder) This rich resource has it all -- education, family perspectives, diagnosis and treatment, subtypes -- but throughout there is a joyful and pervading sense of hope. One cannot read this book without developing a great sense of how it feels to live with ADD -- to compensate for, even to benefit from, its characteristics.Priscilla L. Vail author of Smart Kids with School Problems The highest order of helping and healing glows through this book. Informative, compassionate, practical, and -- yes -- funny, it draws the reader in as it throws confusion out.Jane M. Healy, Ph.D. author of Endangered Lives This is an important and much-needed book! Wise, practical, and reassuring....A must-read for anyone who knows, treats, or is an "underachiever" -- in school or in life.9780553378214 Answers to Distraction The bestselling authors of Driven to Distraction share everything you need to know about ADD in this revised and updated edition. Two experts respond to the most frequently asked questions about Attention Deficit Disorder. After decades of being unfairly diagnosed, children and adults with ADD are now recognized as having a common and treatable neurological condition. Drs. Hallowell and Ratey answer the questions most frequently asked at their nationwide workshops and seminars, resulting in an easy-to-read reference that covers every aspect of the disorder: from identifying symptoms and diagnosis, to the latest treatment options, as well as practical day-to-day advice on how you or a loved one can live a normal life with ADD. Whether you are a patient, parent, teacher, or health-care professional, Answers to Distraction will help those whose ADD has caused persistent problems in school, at work, and in relationships. Q&As include:• What is the single most important scientific finding about ADD in the last decade?• How early can ADD be diagnosed?• Where can a parent get support for dealing with a child who has ADD?• What advances in the field of medication have taken place since the original version of this book was published?• How can you help someone of any age who resists the diagnosis of ADD get comfortable with it?97803454423142 Delivered from Distraction Getting the Most out of Life with ADD In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder–all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD.As Hallowell and Ratey point out, “attention deficit disorder” is a highly misleading description of an intriguing kind of mind. Original, charismatic, energetic, often brilliant, people with ADD have extraordinary talents and gifts embedded in their highly charged but easily distracted minds. Tailored expressly to ADD learning styles and attention spans, Delivered from Distractionprovides accessible, engaging discussions of every aspect of the condition, from diagnosis to finding the proper treatment regime. Inside you’ll discover• whether ADD runs in families• new diagnostic procedures, tests, and evaluations• the links between ADD and other conditions• how people with ADD can free up their inner talents and strengths• the new drugs and how they work, and why they’re not for everyone• exciting advances in nonpharmaceutical therapies, including changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle• how to adapt the classic twelve-step program to treat ADD• sexual problems associated with ADD and how to resolve them• strategies for dealing with procrastination, clutter, and chronic forgetfulnessADD is a trait, a way of living in the world. It only becomes a disorder when it impairs your life. Featuring gripping profiles of patients with ADD who have triumphed, Delivered from Distractionis a wise, loving guide to releasing the positive energy that all people with ADD hold inside. If you have ADD or care about someone who does, this is the book you must read. 9780452275478 The Myth of the A.D.D.* Child: 50 Ways To Improve Your Child's Behavior and Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels and Coercion Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D., is a psychologist, learning specialist, and consultant to educational groups around the world. He has written for Family Circle, Ladies' Home Journal, and Parenting magazine, and is the author of nine books, including Awakening Your Child's Natural Genius and The Myth of the A.D.D. Child. A psychologist challenges current diagnoses of Attention Deficit Disorder and shows how to deal with hyperactivity and short attention spans through practical strategies for making the most of a child's vitality and creativity. 25,000 first printing. National ad/promo. I'm really excited about publishing my first novel (my 20th book overall), which came out in September 2022. It's called Childless, and it's about a childless child psychologist who tries to foil a U.S. government plot to declare childhood as a medical disorder (government scientists say childhood is too messy, emotional, and unfocused compared with the sensible and rational world of adulthood) and then eliminate it from the human genome using a human endogenous retrovirus. It's a really crazy, goofy book that I had a really fun time writing over the past twenty years while I've been writing my other books on learning and human development. It's a dystopian satire, dark comedy that stems from my belief that the institution of childhood is dying out in America with children being sexualized in the media, preschool kids being given standardized tests, kids no longer playing like they used to, adults violating child labor laws by having kids work at dangerous adult occupations, children gone missing, or being exploited, assaulted, abused, homeless, food insecure, in poverty, and/or growing up in psychologically dysfunctional environments. What happened to the real child? That's what I'd like to know! The curiosity, creativity, imagination, wonder, and playfulness of children that should be at the core of our parenting and education is dying off (I take up this issue in a recent book If Einstein Ran the Schools). My novel Childless plays that out in an exaggerated fashion but sometimes you have to take things to the limit in order to make a point!Anyway, when I'm not writing, I'm watching movies on The Criterion Channel, which is an incredible site for movie buffs, reading great literature (like the 2500-page Chinese novel The Story of the Stone), and listening to great music (my Echo Dot has become as essential to me as Grape Nuts and whole wheat bread in the morning!). I'm neurodivergent and have written two books on it - The Power of Neurodiversity, and Neurodiversity in the Classroom. I have a mood disorder (unipolar depression), which I manage via several medications, mindfulness meditation, regular exercise, a Mediterranean diet, yoga, psychotherapy, and whatever else i can throw at it (I've been in remission for the past fourteen years and I want to keep it that way!).I've traveled a lot as part of my speaking and writing, visiting thirty countries including Peru (where my breath was taken away by Machu Picchu), Vietnam, Iceland, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia. Now with the pandemic, I don't do so much of that, which is fine because I'm basically an introvert and have a great time in my pink Victorian house on a hill in Sonoma County with my little dog Daisy (my wife left me after thirty years in 2016) just reading, socializing, exercising, and relaxing.I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota (hey, no wood chipper jokes please!). My house was destroyed in 1957 by an F-5 tornado (the worst kind). I went to public schools in Fargo, then to Carleton College in Minnesota for a couple of years, dropped out in the countercultural years of 1970-71, did some antiwar activities in Washington, D.C., then went back to school at the University of Massachusetts School of Education, got a Masters degree in Special Education at Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, went up to Montreal for two years to teach at the junior high level, then went to California in 1978 to teach elementary school level kids, and have been here in the Golden State ever since. I hated teaching in the public schools and managed to sublimate my rage at the inane teaching practices going on by writing books on educational reform, including In Their Own Way, which gave me some national attention, and after that other books, including The Myth of the ADD Child, and several books for an educational group called ASCD that has sold 450,000 copies of my eight books for them. I got my Ph.D. in San Francisco at the California Institute of Integral Studies, in East-West Psychology in 1987 (when I was 19 I went through a major depression/spiritual transformation and have been interested in Eastern mysticism ever since). I've written two books that focus on this east-west perspective: The Radiant Child, and The Human Odyssey: Navigating the Twelve Stages of Life.My plans for the future are to keep on writing as long as I am able to put words together. After some moderate success as a published author of 19 books over the past thirty-six years (1.4 million copies in print plus translations in 30 languages), I'm moving into a new phase of writing where I think I'll be self-publishing from now on. The publishing world has changed a lot in the past few years, not for the better, and there are too many gatekeepers (agents, editors, publishers) who are too concerned with authors grabbing their readers attention from the first paragraph so that it's assured of selling. I've got about 27 different book projects in mind, including another book on the stages of life, a second novel about a Buddhist in the 9th century who gets kicked out of his sangha in Central Asia and is picked up by Vikings in the Caspian Sea and taken to Iceland, a self-help book for people like me who have mood disorders, and a history book on the Indian mystic Meher Baba and his visit to Hollywood back in the 1930's. Like many of you, I'm holding tight as the nation and the world go through some uncertain times, but I'm basically an optimist and like to take the long view on things. Like John Lennon said ''and we all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun, yes, we all shine all, everyone!''
