Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Everyone has heard of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, but most do not know very much about what it is really like to suffer from the debilitating, destructive condition. Conflictive reports in the media and even from healthcare practitioners leave parents of ADHD children and ADHD individuals confused, afraid and unsure of what to do. In this unique book, Dr. Kuendig takes the reader on a journey through the life of an individual with ADHD, himself, and shares his understanding the peaks and valleys of the discorder both from the viewpoint of a clinical psychologist and an afflicted person. Before parents and caregivers assume that living with ADHD is not really all that difficult, they should make reading this book their number one priority!

I must heartedly disagree with MJPoston, Dr. Kuendig's book is FAR superior to "The Little Monster." Although both are autobiographical, ADHD: An Autobiography of Survival, is about the experience of ADHD and not just a bunch of stories about living with ADHD as is The Little monster. Regarding her statement that there are no treatment recommendations, MJPoston obviously did not read the book, because if he/she had it would have been woefully obvious that the entire book is about treatment. No, the treatment talked about in this book is not entirely clinical, but it is not meant to be. ADHD: An Autobiography of Survival is a wonderful book of experience...experience on a deep level, felt from within the heart of a person suffering from ADHD. Besides the fact that The Little Monster is almost double the price and delivers half the insight as ADHD: An Autobiography of Survival one must bear in mind that the purpose of Dr. Kuendig's book as stated in the intro, is to help those who live with ADHD undertand the INNER experience of ADHD and learn to modify THEIR behavior as much as if not MORE than the ADHD sufferer.
PLease read this book very first and save yourself some money and time, this book is clearly the best book, in my opinion, about the life of an individual with ADHD! I love this book and will continue to buy copies for my sons teachers every year!!!

It's been almost a yr to the day since I very first read Dr. Kuendig's touching autobiography. After the second semester of this school year I found myself dusting off my copy (gives me a sense of comfort to read this book) and becoming my sons advocate at parent/teacher conferences. Once again I purchased multiple copies and distributed them thru the high school in hopes of "opening their eyes". After reading another review I decided to also purchase Little Monster....unfortunately it wasn't what I had hoped for- AT ALL! Again, Dr.Kuendigs book is a MUST READ FOR ANYONE, odds are that ADHD/ADD affects someone in your life...it will open your eyes and your heart!

A must read for any parent or spouse of an ADHD person!! Not only was this informative & truly helpful, but it was incredibly touching! Dr. Kuendig took a personal approach adding in the trials and tribulations that so many of us (and our children) face. I found myself both, crying & laughing thru the entire book! I gave copies to my son & the school guidance counselor.

Dr Kuendig's book is just what it states in the title - the story of his lifetime struggles with ADHD. His perspective is very personal and reflective as well as professional sound, as he is now a psychologist treating patients with ADHD.
It's a wonderful story of one man's journey that you can use to get a perspective on living with ADHD. One warning: I was inclined to give it to my son to read; the story would be very comforting and encouraging to him. There are some discussions of a lifestyle of drugs and sex that may make it inappropriate for younger ages. Read it yourself first. It is well worth it.
