If only...

This is one of those books that is both a gift... and very upsetting. - - When I was coming up, the terms ADD and ADHD were just becoming popular... only they were becoming so popular a lot of people were having trouble taking them seriously. - - It seemed like a faddy diagnosis and an excuse to medicate any kid who the television set couldn't babysit for adequately... At that time, I should note that it was clear that...

The very latest in the world of attention differences, including current research in lifestyle changes, supplements, medication, and testing. Unlike D2D, Dr...

This has been extraordinarily painful, b/c sometimes I can perform "at a very high level", even reading!. ##***2) For those who are unsure if they are ADD or if it even matters ( & can't find out b/c they "can't read"), _DO_CHECK_OUT_THE_INTRODUCTION_...
