"At last, a look at ADHD from the inside" --
Delmar Green, MD., FAAP, Former Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Pediatric Neurodevelopmental ConsultantA must read for any parent or spouse of an ADHD person!! Not only was this informative & truly helpful, but it was incredibly touching! Dr. Kuendig took a personal approach adding in the trials and tribulations that so many of us (and our children) face. I found myself both, crying & laughing thru the entire book! I gave copies to my son & the school guidance counselor. --Customer/reader
At last, a look at ADHD from the inside! For the first time we hear from a professional with the courage to stand up and say "that's me-the one voted most likey never to succeed." As well as sharing the story of a life marred by the disability of ADHD, Dr Kuendig brings into sharp focus the many strategies that can be employed to lift the yoke of unworthiness and fear of failure thatpeople with ADHD often carry. Bravo, a well written and touching story of love and survival of a human being with ADHD. --Delmar Gheen, MD, FAAP
Product Description
Everyone has heard of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, but most do not know very much about what it is really like to suffer from the debilitating, destructive condition. Conflictive reports in the media and even from healthcare practitioners leave parents of ADHD children and ADHD individuals confused, afraid and unsure of what to do. In this unique book, Dr. Kuendig takes the reader on a journey through the life of an individual with ADHD, himself, and shares his understanding the peaks and valleys of the discorder both from the viewpoint of a clinical psychologist and an afflicted person. Before parents and caregivers assume that living with ADHD is not really all that difficult, they should make reading this book their number one priority!
Reader ReviewsIt's been almost a yr to the day since I first read Dr. Kuendig's touching autobiography. After the second semester of this school year I found myself dusting off my copy (gives me a sense of comfort to read this book) and becoming my sons advocate at parent/teacher conferences. Once again I purchased multiple copies and distributed them thru the high school in hopes of "opening their eyes". After reading another review I decided to also purchase Little Monster....unfortunately it wasn't what I had hoped for- AT ALL! Again, Dr.Kuendigs book is a MUST READ FOR ANYONE, odds are that ADHD/ADD affects someone in your life...it will open your eyes and your heart!
