Stein, a social worker with ADD/ADHD, writes an account of her own life journey, asserting that ADD should not be treated as a disorder but rather accepted as a different kind of cognitive "wiring" that can be a gift rather than a burden. Based on research, she argues for progressive therapy for ADD that emphasizes hands-on, interactive learning; art; physical activity; community service; and spirituality to encourage positive change in the lives of sufferers.
