The best book I have read about adult ADD is entitled “Driven to Distraction” by Edward Hallowell. I have heard him speak many times and he is very inspirational. His book is anecdotal and once while I was driving to Syracuse reading it, I got to the third or fourth profile and I knew I had this. It was amazing to me that there was an explanation for what I had. Having an explanation prevents you from beating yourself up when you arrive places late, on the wrong day, or, at the end of the party instead of at the beginning. It is what makes me so spontaneous and allows me to be an extreme multi-tasker. A person who is able to get a lot accomplished. I never could have been successful without the diagnosis and MEDICINE! You owe it to yourself, if you think you may have this, to get it checked out by a psychologist with experience in adult attention deficit disorder and try medicine. There is a self test developed by Dr. Amen at:
