Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain by Kristin Wilcox is a thought-provoking and informative book focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The book consists of two parts. The first part is from the point of view of Andrew trying to cope with inattentive type ADHD. The second part is from the point of view of his mother, who is also an expert on ADHD, as she tries to help her son. With engaging chapter titles like Always Disorganized and Hopelessly Distracted, My ADHD Brain is a Master of Disaster, Let the Chaos Commence, and ADHD and the Incredible Hulk, it’s easy to relate to Andrew and his mother as they candidly reveal their day-to-day struggles. Read on and join Andrew and Kristin as they manage the negative symptoms of ADHD.
Kristin Wilcox’s Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain provides a unique and very helpful approach to understanding the challenges of ADHD and successfully overcoming them. This book is not only beneficial for those with ADHD but also for others to understand their condition. Well-written and entertaining, it is a must-read for parents and teachers of children with ADHD. I find Andrew’s perspective interesting as he reveals the chaos and emotional turmoil he goes through and the daily battles he fights that most of us will never understand. Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain gives us an intimate and unique glimpse into his world. Ultimately, this beautiful story of love provides simple ways to overcome the many challenges that a child with ADHD faces every day.
