Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Must Read for Women W/ADHD
Exceptionally valuable, helpful and heartfelt information. Every woman who has this quirky brain issue will find more self-acceptance as well as a good laugh and some well deserved peace of mind.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Needs to be re-written..
This book is a disappointing hodge-podge compendium of works by various authors. The chapter on CFS/Fibromyalgia-ADD link could have and should have been a milestone work that catapulted the book and the authors to world recognition but they totally dropped the ball and missed a golden opportunity here.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great reference book
This book contains valuable info not easily found elsewhere, for women with ADD / ADHD. EXCELLENT questionaires for evaluation and self-knowledge.

This book reads like a textbook but is not as heavy as most. moves quickly along and is neatly divided into specific areas of interest.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must Read
This book will be a validating reading experience for any woman who has AD/HD, not to mention those in her family who want to understand her better. The author breaks down the symptoms, perceptions and realities of AD/HD so that the reader can get a clearer picture of what AD/HD is for women and what can be done in order to improve their lives. There are many references included in the book so continued research and reading is made easy. Do not pass this book by - you'll miss out on some VERY important ... Read More
