No one seems to understand that those with ADHD know what to do? They just can't make it happen. It's not intentional. An ADHD mind continually wants to explore and can't hold a thought for longer than ten seconds. To get control, ADHD adults need to understand how their brain works, and what a distraction feels like, so they can identify those thoughts that are distractions and stop their mind from wandering. To do that, they need a simple and effective strategy. As an adult, Joyce Kubik discovered that she had spent all her life with undiagnosed and untreated ADHD. Looking back, she realized that her ADHD prevented her from making herself or her parents happy. Teachers saw her as a failure and discouraged her from going on to college. The rejections she experienced made it clear to her that she didn?t have a clue how to make life work for her. But Joyce was determined. She taught herself how to stay on track, how to operate and function with the internal processes and signals she had been given in life. In short, she learned how to turn her deficit into an asset, how to become successful in the face of her ever-present ADHD. Eventually, Joyce fulfilled her life?s dream of earning a college degree. Then she earned a second one. Today, she is an internationally respected expert in the field of ADHD. Unraveling ADHD: How I turned my greatest deficit into my greatest asset is an inspiration for those who suffer from ADHD as well as for those who live with family and friends afflicted by Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The 15 Rules Joyce developed to turn her greatest deficit into her greatest asset are included in this book.

Everyday, thousands of smart, skilled, creative and likeable people find themselves stuck on the road to success in life, because they cant get things done. What theyre experiencing is no short-term or minor problem. It isnt a matter of laziness or lack of ambition. These individuals suffer from a profound inability to move their lives forward. To put it simply, they are stuck. Drawing on more than 20 years experience working with people who were stuck, psychiatrist Don Kerson argues that being stuck is the result of a complex interaction between depression, attention deficit disorder and dissociation (a consequence of childhood trauma). Getting Unstuck provides a groundbreaking first look at this significant, but misunderstood, mental health problem, which has gone unrecognized by the mental health community, until now. It also takes a close look at what is required to successfully treat it.

Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Development Disorder is an essential guide for parents with autistic children who hope to better understand and intervene with the disorder. When their nineteen-month-old son, Miles, was diagnosed with autism, Karyn Seroussi, a writer, and her husband, a scientist, fought back with the only weapons at their disposal: love and research. Consulting medical papers, surfing the Web, and networking with other parents, they traced the onset of their child's problems to an immune system breakdown that coincided with his vaccinations. As a result, his digestive system was unable to break down certain proteins, which in turn led to abnormal brain development. So Karyn and her husband got to work -- Karyn implementing their program at home while her husband tested his theories at the scientific lab where he worked. Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder is an inspiring and suspenseful chronicle of how one couple empowered themselves to challenge the medical establishment that promised no hope -- and found a cure for their child. Here are the explanations and treatments they so carefully researched and discovered, a wealth of crucial tools and hands-on information that can help other parents reverse the effects of autism and PDD, including step-by-step instructions for the removal of dairy and gluten from the diet, special recipes, and an explanation of the roles of the key players in autism research.

Many experts say that, conservatively, well over six million children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. With the mounting pressure placed on parents to pursue a diagnosis and medicate hyperactive children, the urgency of life-changing decisions can weigh heavily on the whole family. Conflicting advice bombards parents from all sides-often leaving families more confused and anxious than before. The AD/HD Book seeks to quell fears and rationally addresses nearly one hundred common questions and concerns to help parents make sense of the information chaos. Beth Ann Hill, herself a mother and educator of AD/HD children, clearly explains the basics of AD/HD and lays out its complexities. She logically takes parents from symptoms, diagnoses and tests, medication, a treatment strategy designed to combine medical treatment, and special parenting techniques to break through problem behaviors. Whether readers browse through the question-and-answer format or read from start to finish, they will come to: - understand the biological causes of AD/HD - get the facts on prescription drugs - cope with AD/HD's emotional impact on family and friends - find comfort in real-life examples of challenges and their solutions With the help of pediatric AD/HD specialist Dr. James Van Haren, Hill also develops unique strategies for teaching social and coping skills to children-and for having fun in the process. She includes worksheets, charts, daily planners, and more to help kids grow into adulthood with the tools to lead successful and productive lives.
