Originally written as a Master's project, this is a beginner's guide to ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Designed to be inviting, non-threatening and informative it presents much like a children's book, yet contains many relevant details. Whether you are a parent, family member, or doing some introspective exploration, this book is for you. Definitions of technical terms are given using real life examples, humor, and common vernacular. Sample Explanations: Anxiety- Something is wrong, and you probably did it. You don't know what it is, but any day now it will catch you by the collar and kick you in the backside. You're sure of it. Sort of. You might be wrong, but maybe not. Overall, the world feels wrong and might never feel right again. Hand-eye coordination: Ever been the last one picked for the sports team? five years in a row? Ever been the only student to make a habit of catching a ball with your head? When I try to catch a ball, it disappears about ten feet out and I have to guess where it will land. My head is a good guess. Organization: Homework is chronically listed as MIA. Forgotten sandwiches of yesteryear creep out from under the passenger seat. Bills skulk under the couch, lurk in the backs of drawers, or slink into unknown corners until three weeks past their due date. Car keys float between six different bolt holes, never leaving a forwarding address.
