Reviews

Robert Jergen’s The Little Monster: Growing Up With ADHD, is a must-read for parents, teachers, and employers who want to understand the world of those who have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. The central message of this book...is very positive....chapters...offer strategies and suggestions—for those with ADHD... Jergen’s memories and ideas are insightful...and instructive.
*Press-Republican, (Plattsburgh, Ny)*

Jergen...tells of his struggles growing up with...ADHD, and describes how...he turned his ADHD into an asset that enabled him to get a PhD, become a tenured professor at the age of 34, and publish five books in two years.
*Reference and Research Book News*

Jergen's book is one more in an increasing number of titles about how people can overcome the stigma of growing up with a disability that was unheard of during their childhoods....This is an interesting book, particularly for concerned parents of children with ADHD.
*CHOICE*

Robert Jergen is an engaging writer and, as an autobiographer should, he knows his subject very well. Many of his points about the difficulty of diagnosing ADHD and the high incidence of misdiagnosis will be useful for readers.
*Metapsychology Online*

Robert Jergen . . . has done us a favor by telling the story of ADHD—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder—from the perspective of the child.
*Green Bay Press-Gazette, (Wisconsin)*
