3.0 out of 5 stars
Good on absolute fundamentals, but not much else,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don't?: Social Skills Help for Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Paperback)
This book was not as useful for me as I'd hoped. There are many reasons that ADD adults have small social circles and poor social skills. For some people who have never learned the fundamentals of interacting appropriately with others, this book might prove very useful (if you always seem to be wearing the wrong thing or a group of people stares at you uncomfortably when you talk). For others, who have the basics down, there is little to be found here on maintaining relationships, or learning how to find balance between alone-time and socializing - when socializing is such hard work. In this sense, it felt like it would have been a good first half of a book, but was missing the second half. Nonetheless, few of us are perfect, and it did have some useful reminders for those of us with ADD (if I don't look at someone when they're talking, it doesn't seem that I'm listening even if I am).

It's a good book for spouses and parents of AD/HD children,
By "jmcgwelch" (Davidsonville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don't?: Social Skills Help for Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Paperback)
I found it to be very insightful as the spouse to my ADD husband and mother of an ADD adult child. I only wish I had read it ten years ago as it would have saved some heartache! My other wish would be that the book were available on cassette or CD-Rom. My spouse cannot read this book, even with the reader-friendly innovations the writer has done to make it easier for ADD people to read. I find most books for him must be on CD or I have to read it to him.

What does everybody know...,

This review is from: What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don't?: Social Skills Help for Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Paperback)
If you have ADD/ADHD, or are married to someone who has, this book is for you. Growing up with ADD we seemed to have missed out on the socialization that everyone else experiences. This book offers practical examples and suggestions to help get your out of controlled life under control.
