About this title

Synopsis

When our team of authors came together from across several scientific disciplines in November 2014, we had one goal in mind: to provide the people in a child’s life with the most up-to-date, complete and concise information possible regarding ADHD. As director of the Neuroscience Group at Clemson University, I – no doubt like many parents, teachers and caregivers of children with ADHD-like symptoms – was astounded at the volume of information and misinformation pervading the internet and even the scientific literature about ADHD. In this book, we have sifted through thousands of scientific reports from the past 20 years and assimilated them into a brief summary of what is generally accepted today in an effort to help the reader discern fact from fiction. This book, then, is not a guide on how to manage the symptoms of ADHD, nor is it meant as a replacement for medical or mental health professionals. It is a manual that will help you to understand what a person with ADHD is going through and what may cause the condition. It is meant to provide you with the knowledge you need to advocate for your child if you are a parent and to better understand the struggles of a student if you are a teacher. Some of the information is technical, but our authors have done their best to build from simple explanations to more technical language in each section – no background in a scientific or medical profession is needed to benefit from this text. We hope that this concise primer will help you to become an expert parent on ADHD and related conditions for your child.
