About the Book

""Saturday 14th August 2001: Today has been a horrible, hateful day. Daniel has pushed me to my absolute wits' end. Sometimes it really does feel like he is the original child from hell."" When he was younger Daniel's behaviour was challenging, earning him the nickname "the boy from hell" - and it was no real surprise when he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at the age of six. The Boy from Hell: Life with a Child with ADHD is the story of the first fifteen years of Daniel's life, as told by his mum. From struggles to find the right schooling through diagnosis and medication to brushes with the law, it's been a rollercoaster ride of a journey that every parent of a child with ADHD will recognise. As well as sharing their unique experience, Alison Thompson shares advice and information that has helped her along the way, and offers hope for the future for the many families living with an ADHD child. You'll also hear about life with ADHD from the sibling's perspective, and from Daniel himself. "A well researched, informative and accessible guide, full of practical tips for parents and professionals - especially teachers! This book is a must for anyone whose life has been touched by ADHD." Dr Tony Lloyd, CEO, ADHD Foundation "The Boy from Hell is like a parents' survival guide, offering private comfort and reassurance that it won't always be like this, and though every battle may take you to the brink of exhaustion it will all be worth it in the end. Oh, and it's proof that a mother's instinct about her beautiful yet challenging son is always right!" Annemarie Main, mother of a child with ADHD
