About this title

From the Author

Spoiler and disclaimer alert! Nothing I say is intended to minimize Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), devalue the American Psychiatric Association (APA), or discount the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Often, I speak about ADHD, theAPA, and the DSM with tongue in cheek and play devil's advocate only to raise consciousness of credible, alternative ways to view and experience ADHD. ADHD is a legitimate, life interrupting disability. I know that. I also know it is a gift to be valued and celebrated. The gift of ADHD is celebrated here.
