When ADHD is a Superpower - Paperback

"When ADHD is A Superpower is designed to shift awareness of adult ADHD to our strengths.

I am writing from the perspective of an adult with ADHD who has learned to appreciate the way we are neurologically wired rather than self-identify as impaired or "difficult." Rather than provide a list of symptoms to describe us, helpful as they are to diagnosis and treatment, I want to call attention to the reality of being who we are. I do this through interviews with a successful ADHD attorney, a financial planner, an MMA fighter, an addiction counselor, a sales manager, a social work administrator, and a few ADHD friends. They generously share ways their ADHD superpowers of creativity, innovation, hyperfocus, high energy, and productivity impact their life.

At the end of the day, we completely believe that we can attribute a substantial amount of personal and professional successes to our ADHD superpowers." -- Mary Crocker Cook
