Download or read book Outside the Box Rethinking ADD ADHD in Children and Adults written by Thomas E. Brown and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside the Box: Rethinking ADD/ADHD in Children and Adults -- A Practical Guide identifies assumptions about ADD/ADHD that demand reevaluation in light of recent research. Building upon a current, science-based foundation, the book describes in practical terms how ADHD can be recognized at various ages; how it differs from more typical brain development; how it can significantly impair those affected; and how it can safely, and in most cases effectively, be treated in children and adults. The book is based upon current scientific research but also on the experience and perspective of the author, a clinician who has devoted more than 35 years to studying this disorder formally and countless hours to engaging with and providing treatment for a diversity of children, teenagers, and adults with ADHD and related problems. The book's audience is the wide variety of clinicians involved in assessing, treating, and/or monitoring the care of children and adults with this disorder (e.g., pediatricians, primary care physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, and clinical social workers) and also educators, disability service providers, human resource specialists, and the adolescents and adults who seek more information about ADHD assessment and treatment for themselves or for family or friends. The book offers practical, accessible information that is grounded in the latest research: The book is focused not primarily on details of academic arguments but on practical aspects of ADHD -- how it varies from one person to another, how it changes over the life span, how treatments need to be adjusted for different individuals, and how it sometimes gets worse and sometimes gets better. Emphasizing that ADHD is not a simple problem of failing to listen or staying focused on a task, the author examines research demonstrating that ADHD results from impairment of a complex syndrome of brain functions essential for self-management, the "executive functions." While DSM-5 is acknowledged as a valuable source of information about ADHD, this book draws upon a wider range of scientific research and perspectives not yet incorporated into DSM. Although accessible to the general reader, the text includes citations to sources that can be used to obtain additional, more technical information. Utterly current and scientifically based, Outside the Box: Rethinking ADD/ADHD in Children and Adults -- A Practical Guide challenges old thinking and provides much-needed information and support to clinicians, educators, patients, and families.

Download or read book Navigating Neurodiversity written by John Truitt and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine living a good deal of your life knowing you are different from people around you, but you don’t understand why. In addition, the things that make you different have caused difficulties with education, jobs, and relationships. Navigating Neurodiversity: My Journey as a Twice-Exceptional Adult by John Truitt and Deboarh Gennarelli takes readers on an enlightening journey of John Truitt’s life and his epiphany moment when he was diagnosed as gifted with autism and other learning differences at 45 years old. Navigating Neurodiversity is unique because there are few books available today about twice-exceptional adults. For those readers who are neurodiverse, or suspect they are, you will discover John’s life is an example that can help one comfortably understand and accept who they are. There may be resistance along their journey, and one may lose a few battles. However, winning the war is what counts. For those readers who are neurotypical, it is important to raise awareness that many 2e individuals do not seek a cure or want to be “fixed”. The goal is to help everyone understand that 2e people have limitations, but they also have many more strengths to appreciate. Navigating Neurodiversity has three parts. The first part is the introduction that includes background information for those who do not know a lot about neurodiversity including autism spectrum disorder and giftedness. Part two is about John’s twice-exceptional life. It includes stories of family history, serving in the military, and his failures and successes in jobs and relationships. Readers will find inspiration as John reflects on the ups and downs of his unique life. Finally, part three includes tips for neurotypicals working and living with 2e adults and strategies for 2e adults to feel more fulfilled in their lives. Also included in this part is help for families of twice-exceptional children. Understanding the barriers and myths and misconceptions about this group of students, in addition to learning styles, proper educational planning and advocacy, can make all the difference whether a student succeeds in school or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The book reviews the latest findings on ADHD in high school and college students, assessment methods, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Practical guidelines are included for helping young adults make the transition to college, so they may cope with their disorder and do as well as possible in school and social settings. Coverage is straightforward, realistic, and geared toward optimum functioning and outcomes.
