Summary: Every girl with ADD should have a copy of this book!
Review: As a woman with ADD myself I know first hand about the struggles girls with ADD face. I wish I had a book like this when I was growing up. While there are some great books already for women with ADD and ones that help adults understand girls with ADD, this book is unique. It's specicially written for girls with ADD not adults.

The format of the book is very "ADD Friendly". The fonts used in the book are fun and inviting to girls with ADD. The illustrations are also very helpful at grabbing the reader's attention and keeping the readers attention.

The content on this book is specificly written for girls with ADD. It covers specific issues which pertain to being a girl with ADD and how to overcome many of these issues. The balance of information and humor makes this book appropriate for young female readers.

Summary: Written with humor and encouragement
Review: Written with humor and encouragement, The Girls' Guide To AD/HD is a compendium of explanatory facts and practical advice on how to life a full and successful life while dealing with peers, teachers, friends and family despite AD/HD. Three girls (Maddy, Helen, and Bo) each have unique personalities and combinations of AD/HD traits enabling the reader to learn all about what AD/HD is like for girls; how the AD/HD brain functions; how adolescence impacts AD/HD symptoms; how counseling, coaching, and medications can help; how to deal with emotions that range from anxiety and anger, to forgetfulness and depression; the advantages that having AD/HD can have; how to cope with school and homework; and how to get along with others. To put it simply, The Girls' Guide To AD/HD is "must" reading for girls having to cope with this increasingly widespread condition and should be available in every school and community library.
