- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought this book did a good job in addressing the questions that many of us have about ADHD. The questions are very straightforward (though not simplistic) and are easily understood by those not in the education/,mental health fields. I also appreciated the suggestions that were given to help deal with issues.
