Driven to Distraction
by Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey
Three key ideas
- ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, not a sign that a person is lazy or uncaring.
- A familiar description is a reason to investigate, not enough to diagnose ADHD.
- External structure can reduce what you must remember and organize unaided.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Difficulty is not a character flaw
- 2.A match is not a diagnosis
- 3.Put structure outside your head
- 4.One trick is never the whole toolbox
- 5.Kind and accountable at once
From the comic
The keys are missing. My arms want a character trial before checking the handover.
