Books for Adults with ADHD

Here are some great books for Adults with ADHD. Ask for them on your Christmas list!

ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life - A good response to the needs of adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It deals directly and exclusively with the greatest challenge that adults with ADHD face: the problem of disorganization.

Moms with ADD: A Self-Help Manual - Chapters on juggling, dealing with school, work, and holidays. Some really good ideas are presented, but even with all the strategies included, I found this book hard to read. It seems to try a bit to hard.

Out of the Fog: Treatment Options and Coping Strategies for Adult Attention Deficit Disorders - This is an informative first read for adults who have - or suspect they have - ADHD.

Survival Tips for Women with AD/HD: Beyond Piles, Palms, & Post-its - Just the title of this book is an enticement to read. The author touts her book by saying, "Many AD/HD adults have lived for years in shame, depressed that they can't do what for others seem to be such simple things. This book fills the void by offering concrete solutions to daily problems, submitted by AD/HD women for AD/HD women." Amen. A wonderful book with hundreds of ways to help. Like, leave the door open to your microwave when you're not using it so you'll remember to take what is in it out. (Who's been there?!) I also love all the Beatles references in the book...
