About this title

Synopsis

After the death of her teenage son Ben, author Trudy Carlson compares his difficulty with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) with her own struggle with dyslexia. The difference between success in overcoming their disabilities is explored in terms of the nature of the two problems and the way each affects the life of the individual. Generic low-cost/no-cost programs helpful for a wide range of difficulties faced by today's elementary school-aged children are described. The correlation between ADHD, anxiety disorders, and suicide is discussed.
