Not Bad

2004-02-19
I bought this book based on Gerard's review. I found it to be decent and fairly useful. Most of the stuff is pretty straight forward and already common knowledge. Some useful hints that I hadn't thought about on how to organize yourself and seek help. All the pictures in the book seem to be out of the 70s or 80s, which I found kind of strange...not that it matters. The book is really short and you probably only need to look at it once. It's a worthwhile investment.

I absolutely love this book

I absolutely love this book and highly recommended especially if you are newly diagnosed or new to post-secondary education. The book is actually more of a quick reference guide, the type you can carry around with you, and use on an as need basis. I myself keep it handy, and whenever a question, problem, or concern comes up related to ADHD and school I just pick it up and flip to the relevant section. This book is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of the ADHD post-secondary situation, but more of a pithy and portable help manual. I definitely recommend purchasing this book, even if it means giving up and evening of beer and pizza in order to afford the book, as it's well worth it.

Not so helpful for the college student

Not bad but really more geared for high school students planning on and in the progress of applying and planning for college. Some sparse info for he college student.

I loved this book. Large print, small sections of reading, and great ideas. It's already been a lifesaver!
