The Gift of Adult ADD How to Transform Your Challenges and Build on Your Strengths Lara HonosWebb PhD 9781572245655 Books

How I wish ADHD was discoverable in my early childhood; not as much for others as for myself. I have read enough standard (because they did not address ADHD) self-help books during my lifetime to have a BA&S. Always trying to make my personality conform, never knowing I already have a perfect ADHD personality; I've enjoyed my personality tremendously. Never having these natural gifts explained; I've never understood why I can't seem to complete many of my actually nice paintings because of my giving over to unending distractions. I have laid my frustrations on my responsibilities, more important tasks, more immediate. I can now call the name to distractions, stop myself from going there, and stay better on course. I know it will take the rest of my life to alter years of inbred thinking, but at least I have renewed hope with new practices. Thank you Lara-Honos-Webb.

The Gift of Adult ADD How to Transform Your Challenges and Build on Your Strengths Lara HonosWebb PhD 9781572245655 Books Reviews

This book really helps you and those around you understand the complexity of ADD while removing a lot of the "stigma" attached. I have ADD but prefer to call it ETA - "Enhanced Task Ability", because it allows me to excel at my career. The author doesn't sugar coat the issues, but takes time and uses some great examples of showing how the ability to super multi-task can work FOR you if you match your abilities to your roles. Time is also spent discussing how you can slow things down to work better with those less able to keep up with you. One of the best that I have read.
The author is an engaging writer and is well versed in the subject of ADD. Having been diagnosed at 50, I realize how much ADD has effected me and my family over the years. My son has ADD as well, which is how I found out I have it. For a long time I thought ADD/ADHD was a made up ailment. It's not and books like this will help both ADD'rs and non to understand how to use the gift that ADD is..
I read this book b/c my psychiatrist recommended me to read. Of course reading a book w/ ADHD is hard b/c at times its hard to concentrate. However this book totally engaged me from the start. As an adult w/ ADD you start to compensate for your behaviors and one of mine was being very emotional. I felt like I had blocked emotions (my ability to really feel things as they came) as part of my compensation. This book literally tore down what I had blocked for so long and let me know it was okay to have struggles in my life w/ ADD. It opened up my ability to see how it really effected my everyday life. There are a ton of books about ADD/ADHD so it would be daunting for someone to try and chose the right one to read. Dr. Hallowell has many books and I have read part of one but Mrs. Webb's book was perfect for me. I will say though the activities in the book are hard to implement as it asks you to reflect back on memories of someone I don't have any memories to coincide w/ the activity-thats what makes the activities hard. The ending was perfect and was exactly what I needed to hear(read). I've been able to be successful in my life despite my ADD but I will say that my feelings w/ a lot of others w/ ADD completely resonate w/ them. I would really hope that if you are thinking about reading a book about ADD/ADHD read this one first before you delve yourself in any other books.
This is one of the first books I read when I found I had ADHD and I'm happy it was. Most talk about how the deficit is hurting your life and maybe some tactics to get around it.
This book focuses on how your ADHD has been helping you and how you can use it wisely.

ADHD is not a "sentence" or a "disease". It's just the way some people's brains are built. There's nothing "Wrong" with it, although it can make it harder to excel in some modern settings, like school. But once you know, you can get around it and these days there are alternative schooling methods that would work better for us.
And the upsides are fantastic. Who doesn't like Energy, Enthusiasm, and better Emotional Connection?

Anyone that's told they have ADHD should read this so they'll know the upside and benefits. It's not all Pollyanna 'Everything's Perfect", but it's a great alternative to most of the clinical or strategic books.
I've read books like Driven to Distraction and Scattered, and while each has their own strengths, this book was much more enjoyable.

The reason it was enjoyable (and insightful) is because the author has reframed ADHD/ADD in a POSITIVE, advantageous light.

I only wish someone instilled this stuff in me when I was 12 Instead of having to seek it out and understand (in retrospect) at age 29 about my past from a book.

The sad part is, millions of ADHD/ADD kids are stuck in broken school systems at this very moment and are going through the same exact frustrations as I (and you) did.

Also, I REALLY hope this author makes audiobook versions of all her books available on Audible.

Given my ADD tendencies, audiobooks are MUCH easier to digest.

Happy distractions!
I have looked through, read some of and entirely read so many books on ADD in the past one and one-half years. This was such a great book for me in that it put so much of what I struggle with in terms of guilt and self-deprecating shame into logical perspective. She uses examples of real extraordinarily successful people who have screamingly obvious ADD. They have let their positive characteristics keep the negative ones in the shadows by finding the path that let them utilize their positive, not always "mainstream" characteristics. I thought the message is to embrace all of your traits, don't burn up energy trying to admonish the negative just turn and focus on the positive and soon you start to realize there is more and more positive bouncing around, most likely outside off the box, if you let yourself look.

I have read enough standard (because they did not address ADHD) self-help books during my lifetime to have a BA&S.
