You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!: The Classic Self-help Book for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder

Love this book! As a recently diagnosed adult "ADDer" I'm really pleased to find solice, confirmation and education from these writers. From their experience and research they have made the book very user friendly while packed with information. A very useful resource for people wanting to know more about ADHD.

Our daughter has just been given this diagnosis and this book was highly recommended as a first read in this area. It has some very interesting and helpful information and suggestions to be explored. Helpful for all the family to advise us all about the best ways to support someone with ADD.

very informative, written simply to understand

This book really helped me to get to grips with understanding this disorder and how it has affected me all my life. It made me laugh and cry in equal measure, the management tips are very useful. I'd reccomend this book to anyone interseted in ADHD

Enjoying the book so far, sueprisngly weird how accurate it is and hits home

Wish I had known this was written for the American market, not a general one. Much of the info did not fit for me in Britain

If you have ADD/ADHD or suspect you do read this book!! Apart from the God stuff (if you are an atheist like me) it is going to make you feel a whole lot better about yourself.

This book is extremely relatable and easy to read which is important when you have the attention span of a gnat on speed.

This book has been extremely helpful- it gives a good semi scientific explanation about ADHD and integrates practical ways of navigating life as an (female) diagnosed OR undiagnosed adult. Would love to see an updated version with a technology focus (we do everything online now and the book still references fax machines etc) since most people are working remotely (and will continue to do so) it would be great to learn how to cope with everchanging online relationship dynamics.

I haven't finished reading this book yet, but I already plan on buying another. This book is for anyone! Whether you are diagnosed, undiagnosed(and experiencing the symptoms) or someone who just wants wants know how to better understand a loved one with ADHD. I'm someone who hasn't been diagnosed, but I was/am more than confident that I struggle with ADHD.This book gave me so much information that I didn't even know about and made me feel so validated and understood. I was able to read this book, take some of the information I have learned (a whole lot so far because I haven't finished it), and express it to a doctor. I'm now receiving treatment and I feel more confident talking about the things I struggle with because this book just made everything *click* for me. Because of that, I was able to get on medication for treatment! With that being said, this book doesn't just focus on medication, therapy, etc. It also provides a lot of different tips, tools, ideas, etc that can help help with day to day life. This is great for those who don't have access to a doctor or certain resources to get a diagnosis and treatment.I believe everyone should have this book; teachers, doctors, therapists, parents, ADDers, employers! Seriously, this book is worth it. And if you have ADHD, share the information you learn with people in your life so they can better understand you. Highly recommend! ❤

Feels like its written for kids. I personally didn't find it helpful or enjoyable. I'd rather read or reccomend Power of habit.

Looks like quite substantive contents.However book looks and feels incredibly old and Used - cover and edges worn out/folds, paper is incredibly discolored.

Ein Muss für alle, die sich mit ADD beschäftigen.Insbesonders Frauen mit den Unaufmerksamkeits Typ (wir gehen da immer im Thema verloren, dabei machen wir die Hälfte der Fälle aus!).-> Witzig, Lebensnah, faktentreu, orientiernd, und vorallem sehr erleuchternd!-> Beide Autorinnen sind im Fach sehr aktiv, und beide berfügen über eine einmalige Einsicht in die Welt der ADSler! Ein absolutes Muss!
