A reader from North Little Rock, Arkansas , August 18, 1998 (5 stars of 5)
It is a perfect book for anyone with ADD

This book is structured like that of a devontional type with one to one-half page explanation and what to do about a sympton of ADD that the authors have encountered in their lives. This book has helped me become comfortable with having ADD and has given me many good ideas and guidelines on how to make my symptons work with me not against me. I highly recommend this book to anyone with any form of ADD.

Synopsis:

From the authors of the national bestseller You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy? comes the first-ever book of daily guidance for adults with Attention Deficit Disorder, written specifically to provide inspiration and insight into all of the important issues, challenges, and rewards faced by ADD adults.

Simon & Schuster :

In The ADDed Dimension, Kate Kelly, Peggy Ramundo, and D. Steven Ledingham offer insight -- with wise, clear eyes and well-developed senses of humor -- into every facet of the ADD experience, from issues of work, parenting, and relationships to those of organizational skills and stress. ADDers know enough about the "disadvantages" of ADD, and this is much more than just a guide to solving problems. At its heart, its aim is self-realization, the feeling of standing, feet firmly planted, on the common ground all ADDers walk. Along the way, it celebrates the good news about ADD: the fact that "different" doesn't mean "worse," and more often might mean "better," especially when energy, creativity, and humor are concerned.

What to do after you or your loved one has come to terms with ADD, but need help at times in keeping perspective, in relating the disorder to everyday life issues and experiences? Now, with The ADDed Dimension, there's a single book that can help.

commentary by the author, D. Steven Ledingham

As one of the authors of "The ADDed Dimension" I was thrilled to be involved in this book. At last we could focus on the positive side of ADD. It was neat to be able to write about the experience of ADD and not just more information on the medical condition and treatment options. This is a book about the real feeling and life experiences of those of us who learn differently and face the daily challenge of living with ADD. D. Steven Ledingham, 8/7/97

    Resources for Adults with ADD

Excerpt from book:

Waiting for permission from publisher to include excerpts. (Note From Balance Check) While this book has ten chapters, virtually each page is a separate chapter in itself. A short quotation starts the page, followed by a brief statement of a common ADD situation, this is followed by a "way around it" or strategy for dealing with (or using) this ADD situation. I have asked the publisher's permission to post some excerpts here so that you can see how this idea works. Like the short stories in "Chicken Soup for the Soul " each page is separate unto itself, yet goes to make a larger framework.
