Barkley, a renown authority, addresses the need for loved ones to
reframe their view of the classic symptoms of inattention,
hyperactivity, and impulsivity so they can take steps to manage
symptoms’ impact…. Acknowledging the anguish that friends and
family members experience in the potentially destructive path of
the disorder is a significant contribution to the field: words of
hope ring like a breath of fresh air to inform and encourage those
gasping to survive the aftermath of ADHD.
