When Allie Casazza first became a mom, she found herself struggling to make it through each day. She battled fatigue, depression, and the unsettling feeling that she didn't have what it took to do "this mom thing" well.

Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

Straightforward guide to understanding PDA for anyone needing an overview of the condition.

Have you, a friend or family member been living with undiagnosed autism? For every visibly autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical. They don't fit the stereotypical mould of autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.

As a child, they were diagnosed as having a mental disorder called ADD or ADHD. Many seem to grow out of it when they become adults, but new theories seem to show that rather than “grow out of it” they instead learn how to use it. As a child, they were probably labeled as unmotivated by teachers and lazy by well-meaning parents. This inability to focus was often coupled with uncontrollable bursts of energy that propelled them to move at some of the most inopportune times.

Story
Asperger's syndrome is often misunderstood and rarely accepted. Many skeptics and critics dismiss or misuse the term out of hand, while parents who have a child diagnosed with such a syndrome are usually confused and unsure what to do. This guide is here to help new or experienced mothers, fathers, and other family members understand Asperger's and how to help deal with issues such as anxiety and episodes.
Summary
Understanding Girls with ADHD does not shy away from key areas of controversy. How, for example, can a family know whether it's ADHD or another set of problems that's the primary issue? How does one deal with the potential use of medication, which is plagued by bad press and abundant myths but which can, as part of a multi-faceted treatment plan, provide great benefit if the right dose is found and if the doctor works with the family to monitor positive effects and side effects carefully? What about longterm risk for eating pathology, substance abuse, and other difficult areas of impairment of salience for girls? How can girls and their families break through the thicket of negative expectations and sometimes toxic family interactions to pave the way for a different set of outcomes?
Always sensitive, and without hesitation in providing an authoritative tone, this book will empower girls and their families in ways that are sorely needed. Its emphasis on gender-specific manifestations of ADHD and its inclusion of practical means of attacking the executive function deficits that plague girls and women with ADHD will ensure its continued status as core guidebook.

Very Informative
This book has been great, I have been researching Adhd for the past 6mths after monitoring my 5yr old for the last 2-3yrs initially thinking she might have Asd, as she is getting older she is displaying more traits of Adhd. Understanding Girls with Adhd has taught me more about the condition than I have learnt over the last few mths. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who suspects their daughter or someone they know well has adhd and have a notepad & pen to hand as you will want to make notes & there are questions to answer yes or no to which I have found very helpful writing them down.

Important reading
This book is an important read for parents, teachers, councilors, and pediatricians. That said, it is a hard listen for parents. The statistics focused on in this book are primarily on the worst case scenario side. I wish the authors had provided more specific helps for parents who can’t afford private schools and expensive therapists in how they might initiate behavioral therapy techniques on their own. The book helped me understand my ADHD girls better and alerted me to behavioral red flags to look out for, but it did not provide information on what *I* can do to help them.

Not Sure This is Trustworthy
this is great information, but there are some things that directly contradict what my child's doctor has said and/or my understanding of current medical science i.e. the use of SSRI medications on "symptom days only" ... which runs counter to the education currently being given by medical professionals regarding these medications. Definitely read the book. but be careful and double check things before applying it.

If you want to hear how terrible it is to have ADHD and how to threaten and bribe your kid into behaving the way you want
This book is for you if you want to hear about the terrible risks of your daughter having ADHD. Or how it isn’t your parenting but it’s your parenting that is causing if to be bad. Or if you want to hear how to threaten and bribe your child into doing what you want.
Behaviorist theory has been called into question so many times as being harmful. It is a terrible way to educate or parent and admittedly I have tried it in my desperate search for something that will work with my ADHD daughter. However that’s why we are now paying a therapist because her self esteem is trashed.
I just can’t with this book. Not helpful to me as a parent at all.

Opened my eyes even more
This book is fantastic for any mother who feels at a loss no matter what you do. From harping about homework, effort, friend trouble, being behind socially and emotionally, to bullying, medications, anxiety and depression it really helped me open my eyes to the huge amount of things weighing in her plate. As a mom of 5 and having add myself, it is a struggle on my part as well. This book is so spot on for many things and I could relate to some of the paths I went down as an adolescent into teen years and into adulthood. Their studies are accurate and extremely relatable. I recommend this audiobook to anyone. I’m going to have my husband listen to it as well since he doesn’t understand what girls go through or have add. Hopefully after listening to this he can have a more empathetic and compassionate approach to communicating and really knowing what our daughter is going through. Thank you!
