I definitely want to read this book and have my teen son read it. He is almost 15 and was dxed with ADHD over the summer. I know he has had it all of his life, but we chose to avoid the dx when he was younger and we homeschooled him instead. It breaks my heart to read the many negative comments posted under this article. Sadly, I think many people do not understand and are very vehement in their beliefs about what ADHD is o r isn't. Most of these people seem to be men(!) and/or teachers, in my experience!
If it's all about parenting, why aren't all of my 4 dc like this? And should I beat my kid every day, several times a day to stop him from "acting ADHD"? So frustrating to hear how others don't support us or our kids, they just want to say ugly things!
Thank you so much. I am trying to find the book at my library so that I can read it![QUOTE=bettybee215]Thank you so much. I am trying to find the book at my library so that I can read it![/QUOTE]

Young people who Rock Series on CNN. I posted this in the book section but didnt get many views. I really think people should read this article and maybe think about getting the book. I put the book on hold at my library!
I think esp those with teens or pre teens might benefit from this!
Read this amazing article on CNN. I hope to buy the book. What an amazing, uplifting boy!
