Hey Y'all,

Recently I read a book called Women With Attention Deficit Disorder. Overall it was an informative and helpful read, although I do have some reservations about its assumptions. I actually had bought it for someone else whom I believe is likely to have ADD. The problem is that she seems to me much more of the impulsive type, with frequent bursts of anger and frustration, constant multitasking, excessive talking filled with tangents, and general impulsivity in nearly all tasks. I have known her for decades, and this is how she has always been.

While she is overall reasonably organised with possessions, she does keep a lost of lists, plus she is very stubborn about any potential changes in her daily routines. On the other hand, she seems quite bad with sequencing complex tasks into smaller steps. She basically avoids any task that involves say more than five steps. When in college, she often expressed that it took her far longer than others to complete homework, and I can tell you she is not lacking in general intelligence. She also has strong avoidance of telephone or socialising (outside of Online). Moreover, she rarely reads directions before starting a task, often resulting in frustration and failure. In general, she gets bored and gives up on things very quickly. She is the most impulsive female that I know.

My question is thus: Is there a better book than the one I mentioned above for adult females who may have impulsive type ADD?

P.S. Funds are limited, and she is very much against seeing doctors or other professionals except when absolutely necessary, so starting with a book appears to be a better option.
