I'm sure we could all think of men this could apply to ::lol:: ::lol:: but I got this book today from one of my kids at school........from his mum!

the book is written by a boy (man) who has/had ADHD (Ben Polis) - the subtitle says 'how I lived with and triumphed over ADHD'

my boy has ADHD and after talking to his mum today (and thanking her for the loan of the book), she said that after reading it, there were many things that she learned....

I wondered if anyone else had seen, heard about or read it?

I have worked with ADHD/ADD kids (and kids with Autism and Asperger) and I still do work with them - but that book you mentioned I think I haven't read it yet, even in English. I think it hasn't been translated in Finnish at this far, even that the book has been published last year in English. Better start to be a customer of Amazon soon and begin to read more books in English. The book seems interesting!

But I find it every time absolutely lovely, when parents realise things like that by themselves and they can admit that they have learnt many things for example by reading something on a certain book.

I have seen this book around a lot and often picked it up with a view to reading it. I'm sure I will one day it is bound to be very interesting and I might even pick up some tips!
