Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are - these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But now there’s hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a best-selling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger’s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and more.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. This speaks to the struggles of being a parent to a differently wired child and helps with coping with it. It gave me security in what I am doing for my son and encouragement to continue the fight. It helps you recognize what is not and what is. Much love for this book! Definitely recommended!

Through vivid stories of the experiences of their patients (both adults and children), Drs. Hallowell and Ratey show the varied forms ADD takes - from the hyperactive search for high stimulation to the floating inattention of daydreaming - and the transforming impact of precise diagnosis and treatment.

Essential read/listening for people who are new to ADD
Reviewed: 10-30-20
Recommended by an friend who had been diagnosed as an adult. My son got diagnosed at age 7 with ADHD and this book is factual, non- judgement, informative and gives lots of advise. It has open up a new world for me and now I understand my son so much better what is going on inside of his brain. This book should be required for teachers - it might help thousands of misunderstood children early on.

I really enjoyed this book even though I disagreed somewhat with her statements on medicine it gave me lots of insight and tools to use with my 7 year old son. Recommended to teacher too.
