Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain
Author: Kristin M Wilcox
Publisher: Msi Press
ISBN: 9781957354026
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Consisting of two parts, the first told by Andrew, a child with Inattentive-type ADHD, and the second by his mother and education, Kristin Wilcox, Ph.D., this book provides unique insights into ADHD behaviors and suggests highly pragmatic and successfully implemented coping mechanisms for children with ADHD and their parents (with implications for educators and others who work with children with ADHD). Andrew thoughtfully and in detail describes the "thinking" behind his behavior -- his reactions to everyday and school-related situations and his interpretation of the words of the significant adults in his life. Kristin adds some facts from the literature on ADHD at the end of each of Andrew's chapters. Kristin, in her chapters, discusses the significance of various aspects of ADHD and the theory and practices of the education and medical professions related to them, distinguishing Inattentive-type ADHD from other forms. Two helpful appendices include a means for parents to "diagnose" ADHD and a list of resources for parents with children with ADHD.

Book Description
Jamie Lee just wants to be normal but his ADHD isn't making it easy. If only he could control his butterfly mind then he'd have friends, be able to keep out of trouble, live with his mum and not be sent to stay with his dad. Elin Watts just wants to be perfect. If she could be the best student and daughter possible, then maybe her dad would leave his new family and come back to Glasgow to live with Elin and her mum, happily ever after. When Jamie and Elin's families blend, the polar opposites of chaotic Jamie and ordered Elin collide. As their lives spiral out of control, Jamie and Elin discover that they're actually more alike than they'd admit. Maybe there's no such thing as normal, or perfect. And perhaps, just like families, happy-ever-afters come in all shapes and sizes. Uplifting and moving, The Boy with the Butterfly Mind is an inspiring story of acceptance, blended families, and discovering that in the end, being yourself is more than enough.
