.Driven To Distraction : Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Needs
by: Edward M. Hallowell, John J. Ratey

March 02, 1995
Honestly, the title of my review wasn't originally intended to be funny. I came on Amazon to look up the publishing date for a footnote/bibliography reference for this book. I now have spent too much time reading reviews on diet books and updating my other reviews on movies and phones to do this review justice.

But if you're looking it up, you don't want a long review anyway. It is the best book in the world for someone with ADD, thinks they might have ADD or someone who has to live with a person with ADD.

BUY IT NOW!! Before you get distracted.

.The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Needs
by: Tony Attwood

May 15, 2008
I have suspected that my older sister (50's) has Aspergers for the past couple of years. After reading The Complete Guide to Aspergers I feel confirmed in that thought. Attwood outlines all the symptoms and I see my sister in so many of them. He explains everything from childhood to adulthood. I plan to send this book to my sister with a note and I just hope she reads it and can, for once, understand that there is a name to what she feels. It is a fantastic book.

.1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Needs
by: Veronica Zysk, Ellen Notbohm

December 01, 2004
Of all the books I've purchased on the subject of Autism, this one is by far the best one. I was so tired of all the clinical, academic, despairing accounts of ASD in other books, that I stopped reading any material on Autism altogether.

But, this book is completely packed with not only great ideas for teaching and raising our child with ASD, but for ENJOYING our child with ASD!! Finally! The authors bring a sense of sweet humor to daily life, with a real-life sensibility that is missing from every piece of Autism literature I've seen. Instead of focusing on the "differences" we face every moment of every day, the authors just dig in and get to the business of enjoying each "challenge". For instance, the idea that "You Don't Have To Brush ALL Of Your Teeth" ... Read More:

.Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder

by: Edward M. Md Hallowell, John J. Md Ratey

December 27, 2005
I was recently diagnosed with ADD, I am a 27 year old female and it was a long road to a diagnosis.

After years of living bellow my capabilities and failing at everything I tried, i read this book and it seemed to tell my life story. Everything seemed so clear now, why I couldn't hold a job, be on time, finish college. I don't know why a doctor never noticed this before.

When I went to my psychitrist the thought of me having ADD was dissmessed, probably because I am not hyperactive, I am female and an adult. But I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was my problem, because of this book.

I fought to get treatment and a diagnosis. After half a year of trying, I am on meds and in therepy and my whole life has changed. I am ... Read More:

Contains many practical and easy activities that are fun for any child, not just "out of sync." Tried several already and found my grandson loved the originality and the use of everyday objects as situations for play.

.The Price of Privilege: How Parental Pressure and Material Advantage Are Creating a Generation of Disconnected and Unhappy Kids
City Travel Guides > Books > Special Needs
by: Madeline Levine

July 29, 2008
I'll jump right in and say it -- my husband and I may very well be at the lower end of the target demographic for this book. We both work full time, we live in a relatively affluent area of Northern California, own a home, have a Prius, and are currently contemplating whether to send our kids to public or private school. Nevertheless, I was pretty skeptical about a book that treats upper class kids as an "at risk" group, similar to kids who come from poverty-level backgrounds. Yes, the stories and anecdotes sprinkled throughout the book made me feel sad for these kids and families who seem so detached from themselves and each other. But how can you argue that these poor little rich boys and girls deserve just as much pity and focus as kids who literally have nothing but the shirt ... Read More:
