The Myth of the ADHD Child, Revised Edition

This book presents a challenging perspective on attention and behavior in children, arguing that many traits labeled as ADHD are actually neurodiverse strengths being misunderstood. Armstrong provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the root causes of children's attention challenges, moving beyond simply managing symptoms with medication. The revised edition incorporates two decades of new research and insights into neurodiversity and alternative approaches to supporting children's development.

What makes this book particularly valuable is its practical focus on identifying and nurturing children's unique abilities rather than pathologizing their differences. Parents and educators seeking alternatives to traditional ADHD management will find concrete strategies for creating supportive environments that honor neurodiversity. This thought-provoking work encourages readers to fundamentally rethink how we understand attention, behavior, and the potential within every child.
