Because there are so many sites dedicated to Children with ADD, this site focuses primarily on resources for Adults with ADD/ADHD.
Support organizations

It also is unique in providing information about disability issues in the legislature and contains articles from Attention, ChADD�s monthly magazine.

Books
ADD and Creativity: Tapping your inner muse. Dr. Lynn Weiss. Paperback. Taylor, 1997. This is the only book I know of addressing the special creative gift people with ADD seem to have.

ADD in Adults: Practical Help and Understanding (3rd Ed). Dr. Lynn Weiss, Kenneth A. Bonnet PhD. Paperback. Taylor, 1997. The first book to address adult ADD (1st Ed. in 1991), it is still seen as a leading resource. This updated edition still contains all the original information, including how to tell if you have ADD, ways to master distraction, ADD's impact on the family, but now also contains information on the new treatments. While I try to read all of Dr. Weiss� books, I find they may be too negative for adults functioning well despite their ADD.

Instead of listing the problems and symptoms related to Attention Deficit Disorder, this book tells real-life stories of people with ADD and how they turned their ADD traits into their greatest assets. My favorite part is that each example is followed by a paragraph entitled �A Way Around It� describing a better way to handle the challenges that people with ADD face each day.

Asserting that people with ADD are like hunters in a farmer's world, this book launched Thom Hartmann�s ADD writing career and made us all rethink what defines normal. While I don�t personally agree with his hunters and farmers theory, I adore the overall message in this book and recommend it to anyone with an open mind and a good sense of adventure.

While many of the books I list are for people with ADD, this book is written for medical professionals interested in the research on ADD. While it may seem out of date, written in 1990, don�t overlook this book. It contains timeless facts, hard evidence, and insight you are surely to learn from. Besides, it�s easy to read and understand with little jargon or techno-speak.

As he discusses brain chemistry and physiology, he examines the pros and cons of the controversial drug Ritalin.�

An incredibly inspirational story of an amazing student and the teacher who helped show him he could do anything. I had the great fortune of working with Chris several years ago and was amazed he ever felt like he was faking it... but then again, the story and this fear will ring true for anyone with learning disabilities or ADD who reads it.

Rising to the Challenge: A styles approach to understanding adults with ADD and other learning difficulties. Sally Snowman Ph.D., Jones River Press, 1996. An excellent overview of learning styles, the Myers Brigg Inventory, and many of the subtleties that combined with one another show that people with learning disabilities are actually quite similar to those with various personally traits. Have studied learning styles for many years, I was truly impressed with the fact this book is very short but covers a great many subjects in a way that makes sense and can be used to the readers� advantage.
Rising to the Challenge II � A Workbook Sally Snowman Ph.D., Jones River Press, 1997. This supplement to Dr. Snowman�s first book has terrific inventories, checklists, and assessments to understand yourself better and to become more productive..

Ratey MD, Catherine Johnson, Ph.D. Paperback. Bantam, 1998. An excellent book that explains the often-undiagnosed (yet definitely insidious) "shadow" disorders that include chronic sadness, obsessiveness, outbursts of anger, inability to finish tasks, disabling discomfort in social situations. It also explains the biological factors that determine our personalities.

Women With Attention Deficit Disorder: Embracing Disorganization at Home and in the Workplace. Sari Solden. Underwood Books, 1995. Before I read this, I didn�t really see how ADD could manifest itself differently in women and men. I now see that expectations and environment (and probably some biology) lead to some big differences that can have profound effects of relationships and coping skills. I wish the book spent more time addressing the unique needs of energetic women instead of focusing almost solely on those who are almost hypoactive... but it�s a terrific start and full of very interesting, compelling examples.
Worry: Controlling It and Using It Wisely Edward M. Hallowell, MD Paperback. Ballantine, 1998. �To create worry," Dr. Hallowell writes, "humans elongate fear with anticipation and memory, expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion. The uniquely human mental process called worrying depends upon having a brain that can reason, remember, reflect, feel, and imagine. Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. Because Hallowell is an expert on ADD, his examples of compulsive worriers and those riddled with anxiety bare several similarities and insights.
You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! A Self-help Book for Adults With Attention Deficit Disorder. Kate Kelly & Peggy Ramundo. Fireside, Reprint 1996. If you are only going to buy two books on ADD, pick this one second. It�s fun to read, easy to understand, and chock full of great ideas.

www.mentalhealth.com/dis-rs/frs-ch01.html
ADD research is a vast subject. The above web sites each contain about 50 pages of summaries of research articles. A word to the wise: narrow your focus.
