Editorial Review: Product Description: Women with AD/HD tormented by the daily chores and decisions needed to survive in a world of linear thinking will find solace in this self-help guide. Offering a collection of practical solutions to seemingly simple daily problems, this book will help to relieve the guilt and anxiety so many women have when they feel they don't measure up to the norms of today's society. These proven gems of wisdom, submitted by hundreds of women with AD/HD from all over the world, will help the reader painlessly get through the piles of laundry on her floor and stacks of paper on her desk. Written to accommodate readers with AD/HD who often have difficulty reading a book from cover to cover, this guide is designed like a manual, allowing them to flip through to areas of interest without having to read the entire book to find what they need. Practical tips provide help in dealing with organizational tasks, including paperwork in the home and office, preparing meals, social situations, paying bills on time, household chores, shopping, and personal and family health. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - beyond disappointingI bet you think from the subtitle that this book is new and different, not just more of the same. Well, that would be wrong. It is more of the same, so much more, and so much of it useless. This is very important: the picture of the cover is deceptive. The book is NOT spiral bound, and there are NO tabs. It is a plain old paperback. Very disappointing, and in this case you really can tell a book by it's cover: the contents are at least as disappointing. You'd have to ... Read More Rating:  - Keep LookingIn the last few years, lots of books about adult ADD have come on the market, and most of them are better than this one. I am embarrassed to admit I bought this book strictly because of its cover - I thought it was a tabbed spiral notebook. As another reviewer mentioned, it's actually a plain paperback.

I've shared it with some of my patients who share this joy as well. Rating: - A good readI have mild ADHD, so I'm not as challenged as some of the women in the book seem to be. I learned most of these tips a long time ago. But I still enjoyed the book! I can now explain to people why I can't cook-I inherited ADD from my mom (who is also cooking-challenged)! The reviewer who didn't like the dinner suggestions must not really have ADD-those suggestions are the way I've been cooking since I moved out of my mom's house 30 years ago! My oldest son has sensory processing difficulties, so he ... Read More Rating: - Real Women, Real SolutionsThe great thing about "Survival Tips for Women with AD/HD" is that it's a handy reference guide for and by real women with AD/HD. Having organization issues? Laundry getting you down? Just flip to the chapter and subheading (clearly identified in the Table of Contents) to quickly look up tips and strategies that work for other women. Terry Matlen does a great job of keeping the book light-hearted and positive while still covering tons of challenges that women with AD/HD experience. Keep ... Read More
