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.

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. The parts of the book that are actually written by Nadeau are quite good (few though it may be) but everything else will leave you bewildered. Too bad. Maybe if they revise it and clean it up with a better editor I will be able to recommend it.

Great reference book
This book contains valuable info not easily found elsewhere, for women with ADD / ADHD. EXCELLENT questionaires for evaluation and self-knowledge. Discusses how hormones and hormone changes affect ADD. Also discusses frequently co-existing conditions and treatment strategies, as well as the empowerment that can come with a diagnosis of ADD / ADHD. 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.

Good AD/HD Resource
When I was first diagnosed as ADHD (emphasis on the "H"), I craved knowledge on the subject. I turned to this book and learned so much. However, true to my inattentiveness, I haven't actually FINISHED reading the book! It's one of those things that comes with so much information I can only absorb it in small doses. So I read the chapters as they become meaningful for me in my journey of coping with ADD. Eventually I'll finish the book. Especially meaningful has been the section of "Women in the Workplace".

I ultimately purchased the book so that I could have the liberty of making notes in the margins and taking the self-assessment test in the front of the book. This book is a good place to start if you're new to the world of AD/HD and how to cope.

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 information that will change your life for the better.
