About the Author

A psychotherapist for forty years Lynn Weiss has an extensive background in training, teaching, program development, and writing about human behavior and child development. For the past two decades, she's concentrated on forwarding an enlightened perspective on Attention Deficit Disorder as a brainstyle diversity issue.
Clinically trained through a NINH clinical fellowship at the University of Washington Medical School, Dr. Weiss has brought her education to a practical level that builds from the health and strength in those with whom she comes in contact. She currently is writing non-fiction and fiction for adults and children and doing program development for natural resource managers as well as A.D.D. from her home in the woods in Central Texas.

Summary

This book recounts the experiences of adults living successfully with attention deficit disorder. Acclaimed A.D.D. expert Dr. Lynn Weiss tells the stories of 15 individuals who have learned to incorporate A.D.D. attributes positively into their lives and triumph.

Reviews

"The range of individuals presented here demonstrates the scope of A.D.D., and its effect not only on those who have it, but also on family members and spouses."
— Foreword

"[A.D.D. and Success] details a variety of affected people who've managed to succeed. She views ADD as a unique thought process rather than a disorder."
—Jann Mitchell, Oregonian

"[These] positive stories will encourage others with the same sort of "brainwiring" to recognize how they can use ADD's positive aspects to their advantage."
— Library Journal
