NOTES
"A practical guide for those with and without a diagnosis"--Dust jacket
"We've known that ADHD affects us throughout our lives, but until now, there's been little to no attention paid to the ADHD-related need of adults over 55. Whether you suspect that you may have ADHD, have recently received a diagnosis, or were diagnosed years ago, Still Distracted After All These Years is a much-needed resource for coping and thriving with ADHD as an older adult"--Page 4 of jacket
