Product Description

Product Description
Discusses the diagnosis and treatment of adult ADD, offers advice for coping with jobs, education, and the challenges of daily life, and includes special guidance for women with ADD.

From the Author
User-friendly, practical guide to successful living with ADD
Adventures in Fast Forward was written as a very practical, solution oriented guide to successful living with ADD. Many books have been written about understanding and recognizing ADD in adults. Adventures in Fast Foward is a guide for those who are ready to tackle ADD-related challenges and learn how to create an "ADD-friendly" life. It is written in a very open, readable, ADD-friendly format and has even been selected by several support group leaders as a guide for ADD skill building. It focuses on life management skills, social skills, marriage, parenting, womens issues, returning older students, and workplace issues. If you know you have ADD and are wondering "What next?" then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, effective and insightful, 17 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Dr. Nadeau's book offers some very useful advice to adults suffering from ADD. Her understanding of the problems faced by the patients is amazingly accurate. This book should be read and followed repeatedly by the patients to survive and succeed in the Non-ADD world.

The other book I would recommend in "Moving beyond ADD/ADHD" by Rita Kirsch Debroitner, et al.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very highly recommended, 6 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Kathleen Nadeau writes about the practical interests of adults with ADD extremely well and offers much useful advice. This is a very important book for all ADDers and those who live with and love them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!!, 24 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is an EXCELLENT book that I have read and recommended to many people. Everyone who has read it had nothing but positive things to say about it. Dr. Nadeau is one of the true experts in the field and she writes about ADD issues in a clear, down to Earth manner. This is a must-read book for adults with ADD as far as I'm concerned. I am baffled by the two very negative comments that start off the review section. There is no way that Dr. Nadeau is condenscending towards people with ADD -- that's silly and ridiculous. She is one of our best informed, sensitive, PRACTICAL writers on the subject of ADD. I recommend this book very highly, it is becoming a classic for adults with ADD along with DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION.

1.0 out of 5 stars A real disappointment
Presumably the author meant well when she wrote this book, but the tone throughout is condescending to people with ADD. Read more
