~Bryan Robinson Ph.D. Author of: The Art of Confident Living – bryanrobinsononline.com

“Bryan’s work helps readers understand the everyday medical and practical limitations of the AD/HD label, and personalizes the interesting nuances of the recovery process.”

-Dr. Charles Parker, Writer, Speaker, Neuroscience Consultant and author of Corepsychblog.com

“The author’s stories read more like journal entries or letters to a close friend instead of polished narrative, and that’s part of its appeal. It is authentic. Parents of children with ADHD, you, too, will find this book helpful in trying to understand your child’s point of view. Not understanding or even recognizing ADHD, many parents will assume they need to get tougher and crack down on the child. That doesn’t just strain the relationship; it can also traumatize the child, leaving them gun-shy in personal relationships. Every parent of a child with ADHD should read this book.”

~Gina Pera Author of: Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.? adhdrollercoaster.org

I could not put it down! The book is an easy read, and is more of a auto-biographical accounting of how the author has overcome some traumatic events in his life as a child, some genetic pre-dispositions, as well as some failed recognition by the public school system (of his condition).

The book also provides a healthy dose of excellent, practical tips that people can relate to — because they are all couched in real-life stories, i.e. accounts from the author’s life. The book is not scientific in nature, one learns from it by ‘experiencing’ how a young man overcame some tremendous obstacles to eventually reach a relatively healthy, well-balanced life.

In summary, I highly recommend this book to people personally struggling with ADD, as well as professionals who must treat them.

Joel Goodsen, Ph.D.

“It’s so comforting to know we are not alone with the heartbreaking inconsistency of our mystifying ADD symptoms. You truly help people gain not only an understanding of ADD but of themselves”.

-Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed., Organizing and ADHD Coach – Author of: Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing your Office arianebenefit.com

“Bryan’s memoir is riveting, engrossing – a crowd pleasing read. Heartbreaking at times, heartwarming at others, if you are looking for a guide through your own or your child’s ADHD, you’ll find it here. A delightful gem – not to be missed!”

~Dr. Lara Honos-Webb, author of: The Gift of ADHD and Listening to Depression

“Bryan Hutchinson’s book, is an extremely touching, thought provoking and informative book that’s not only easy to read, but easy to relate to. Nearly everyone has been touched by someone with ADD / ADHD some time in their lives and this book helps not only the person that struggles with the symptoms of ADD / ADHD, but also family, friends, co-workers, etc. of someone with ADD / ADHD (my youngest son was diagnosed with ADHD at 5). The book made me laugh one minute and cry the next. As a copyeditor and proofreader, I have the opportunity to read many books but this one really touched me deep inside.”

~Nita Ammon, ADHD Mother, Proof Reader, Editor.

“As a person with AD/HD who always felt „not of this world‟, to me, reading Bryan‟s work is like seeing for the first time a reflection appear on the other side of a mirror which had appeared empty for so long.”

-Anya, ADDer World reader anyatraille.com

“I find comfort, solace, understanding and belonging in all of Bryan’s work. He has chosen to make his voice the voice of all of us who are finding our way out of the fog, and discovering the beauty of ADHD, and I’m so thankful for his wisdom, guidance and above all, love for all of us!”

-Jen K, aka NerdyMommy.com

“If I were president for a day I’d make it mandatory reading for all elementary teachers and parents of boys with or without ADD. The author clearly has extensive knowledge of ADD as well as first person experience — a powerful combination that really helps the reader understand some of the many nuances of ADD. This book opened up very enlightening dialogue between my spouse and I and then my immediate family. We were able to confirm what we have long suspected; that in my family most of us have varying degrees of ADD but as adults have learned to compensate in interesting ways. We are productive and happy adults, but felt validated at the similarities we found with the author. Thank you so much for being so generous with your life experiences!”

~Reading Mom, online reviewer

“I vowed never to read another book on ADD/ADHD. I understood why the near genuis IQ, why I performed so poorly in school, told I was lazy and why I had trouble focusing. I read all about the different skills I needed to acquire to overcome this debilitating learning disorder. These books were all informative, providing valuable information for those with ADD/ADHD, their families and teachers. Yet not one book served to provide an answer to what has always been disturbing me – that is until I read Mr. Hutchinson’s book, “One Boy’s Struggle. This is why I cherish this book and highly recommend it.”

~Laurie Siegel

“I recommend this to parents and teachers dealing with children with ADD/ADHD. No one can ever truly understand what it is like to go through life having ADD/ADHD unless they have it themselves. This book shows you the truth dead on, and most likely will be the closest you will ever get to really understand what your kids are dealing with on a daily basis, in both their minds, as well in the world around them.”

~ Steve FitzPatrick

“Best one I’ve read since reading ‘Driven to Distraction’! Being diagnosed around 15 years ago I have read many great books on ADD. I have to say this one is different. Bryan tells a easy to follow story, of what it was like to live with ADD and not know why he couldn’t make himself a “normal” kid and later adult. Many books talk about the symptoms, and the things we fail at, Bryan talks about how those symptoms are played out and the feelings that are left behind in your soul. I had to wipe my eyes many times while reading this book, yet he never fails to bring hope to the reader, of a brighter future, no matter how deep the failures. His positive attitude, toward a so called disorder, which is normally thought of as a negative, is inspiring and leads the reader to think about how much more, they too, can be and accomplish. This should be required reading for any parent with a ADD/ADHD child, I feel it would help so much to assisting in understanding them.”

~ Lisa – online reviewer

“I started reading Bryan’s book on a road trip with some friends (no, I was not the one driving) and I was amazed. I kept laughing, crying, saying ‘that is what I did’. My friends thought I was crazy. I told them I was not crazy and that I felt like someone wrote a book about me.”

~Mindy Schwartz fullcircle-adminservices.blogspot.com

“Bryan’s book is not bogged down with research or statistics. His story reads like a conversation with a friend. After reading the book I feel like I know Bryan although we have never met. If you are feeling isolated and misunderstood regarding ADD, you will likely find solace in Bryan’s book.”

~Dr. Ragan psychologyofclutter.com

I am humbled and grateful.

Thank you!
