Good Article: on Adult ADHD

"People think adults with ADHD choose to be lazy, unproductive or squander their assets. Apart from the diagnosis not being recognized, the disorder isn’t viewed as a serious neurological condition like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, which it is."

This quote is from the online article, Expert Tips for Adults with ADHD - Adult ADHD Symptoms Aren’t Like a Child’s, By Jennifer Oldham. It's a good article for those adults who have ADHD, and maybe even MORE IMPORTANT for those who have to live with them.

Well, they have THEIR problems...but sometimes we're IT.

Read the article, and check out these books which are recommended in the article:
