Evaluation: 4stars
I don't know this disease at until Iread this book. I was surprised to read this book. I doubt whether ADD is a disease or not because like Edison, there are people who are smart and creative. Perhaps, many people think people with ADD is inferior to ordinary people, but if you red this book, misunderstanding about ADD will be surely dissolved.
