maddiehansen's review against another edition
slow-paced
5.0
Serious book, definitely does not treat ADHD as a cute superpower, but rather a developmental disorder and public health risk that has real consequences. This book is meant to be read in whatever manner is easiest and most relevant for you. Listening in 10-15 minutes chunks, skipping sections, or jumping around. Not everything in this book applies to every person with ADHD, which is intended. I really appreciated the comparison between the symptoms of ADHD and the prevalence they appear in populations of people with and without the disorder. I listened to the audio version of the 2nd addition and there were times I wished I had the physical book to review. I may buy it as a reference tool.

Didn't learn much information that was new to me, was hoping for more day to day strategies. However, I did read the old version of this as I wasn't able to get the newest edition through my library, so there might have been some changes - might check out the newest version at some point. All in all a solid, informational book about ADHD, Barkley really knows what he's talking about.
