Adventures in Fast Forward by Kathleen G. Nadeau

The thing I love the most about books about ADD is that they are well structured and easy to follow. This one is no different. Chapters are short with visually separated subsections. Points and ideas are repeated throughout.

 I love how this book approaches dealing with ADD as an adult. It tackles subjects like marriage. How to find a mate if you have ADD. How to relate if one person suffers from it or both. How to be ADD parents. How to cope in the workplace. What sort of job types are more naturally suited for the way the ADD mind works.

The book was written 1996, yet takes a very modern view of ADD. What I recall of ADD in the '90s was all ritalin and over diagnosing. Nadeau's approach is more level-headed and straight-forward.

All in all, a good read.
