For those who are interested in learning about learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorders, there are five kinds of books on the market:
Inspirational books
Self-help books
Scholarly presentations by highly trained professionals
Success stories
Dire-warnings-of-what-can-happen books
None of the books ever seems to talk about LD/ADHD people who are just plain okay. And there are many such individuals.
The object of this book is to help parents raise their LD and/or ADHD children so that they, too, can grow up to be okay—so that they will be happy, well-adjusted, and successful adults despite the learning and behavior patterns that make them different.
And for the LD and ADHD adults who read this book, the object is to give you control. With knowledge and understanding, it is possible to take charge of your mental processing and direct your physical energy so that differences that have long been handicaps are converted to assets.
