In short statements and vignettes, Cory describes what it’s like to have ADHD: how it affects his relationships with friends and family, his school performance, and his overall functioning. He also describes many ways of coping with ADHD: medication, therapy/counseling, and practical tips for school, home, and friendships. Includes a Note to Parents.

Did you every feel like there's a jumping bean inside of you even when you are trying to sleep? I do.
