Teen’s new book gives insight into ADHD
February 26th, 2008
From the Contra Costa Times:
Blake Taylor’s new memoir — one of the first penned by a youth with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder — offers a fascinating and ultimately hopeful glimpse into the childhood challenges shared by 4 million other young Americans.
“I want to change the view that ADHD doesn’t exist or that it’s solely a disability,” says Blake. “It’s a gift.”
The book, called “ADHD & Me: What I Learned From Lighting Fires at the Dinner Table,” arose out of Taylor’s college admissions essay. He is a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley.
Accompanying the story are tips for teens on managing ADHD, as well as a reading list.
