 | ONLY a MOTHER COULD LOVE HIM.
by
Ben Polis
| Maati says:The first-hand account of his life until he was 21. Ben was/is extemely hyper and certainly the naughtiest and most creative boys we have read about. In the book he gives therapists and parents insights on how to handle the extreme ADHDer. Although authors such as Dr Taylor and Dr Strong are ADD, we have seldom heard from one so hyperative. They just are unable to settle down to write a book.

 | ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER
by
THOM HARTMANN
| Maati says: In the late eighties,Thom Hartmann, who had been a counsellor in the Salem homes for boys, which society had given up on, suggested that thre are basically two sorts of people: The Hunters and the Famers. The Hunters have certain attributes which makes it difficult for them to live in the current Farmers world of classrooms and regimented behaviour. Since then Thom's theory has been increaingly accepted. This book gives a refreshing view on how to handle the Hyperactives.
