ADHD

This book, penned by the acclaimed author Neil Alexander-Passe, is a welcomed addition to the arsenal of literature that focuses the reader on the importance of the change in thinking that is required. What separates this work from others is the blend between academic rigor and readability. Many literature works are either ’too American (for a UK audience) or ’far too hard to read’ for the intended audience. Neil’s recent book satisfied neither of these observations and provides the requisite information in a readable, digestible yet informed manner. For this, he is to be congratulated.Dr Phillip Anderton is a former senior police officer and renowned expert on the links between ADHD and crime. After an illustrious and fulfilling 27-year police career he retired and after significant research he formed ADHD 360 which is Europe’s largest and most effective ADHD clinic. This subject matter desperately needs to be read by anybody working with children and teenagers who have ADHD. Perhaps most importantly, parents of fostered and adopted children, residential care workers and social workers. The ratio of ADHD in these children is much higher so it is critical to know what the first signs are of the condition and how to steer these children on the right path. Everybody working in the criminal justice system will also benefit from understanding more about the connection between ADHD and offending.
