• Sommario/riassunto: There is a great deal of information on the negative aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder but very little on the positive aspects or the potentially creative aspects of this disorder. This is of enormous importance to, not alone academics, but parents and families of persons with this disorder. This book offers intelligent information about both the positive and negative aspects as well as a possible link to creativity.
