Adhd: The Undeclared Epidemic

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 22, 2009 -
Canadian author Enelle Lamb steps out of her familiar genre, children’s adventure novels, with this singular examination of the misunderstood world of ADHD, published on Lulu.com, the online marketplace for digital content.

Following her son’s diagnosis with ADHD/ODD, Ms. Lamb’s life became focused on her efforts to help him. Her 163-page self-help paperback “One Step Forward Two Steps Back – Living with ADHD/ODD: A Mother’s Perspective” chronicles the struggles and triumphs she faced in her transformation from reluctant and overwhelmed single Mom to outspoken, informed advocate.

This slim volume is jam-packed with helpful information and resources. Parents of children with ADHD will find hope in these pages. Written with lashings of common sense and wry humor, Ms. Lamb’s book illuminates the challenges faced by parent and professional alike. Her search for solutions to the stumbling blocks that she and her son encounter on a daily basis has led her through the veritable minefield of prejudice and intolerance that surrounds these children and their families.

Enelle says of her work, “When my son was first diagnosed, I felt devastated and alone. The overwhelming response to an article of mine on ADHD that appeared in Synergy Magazine showed me how necessary it is that I speak out. Parents of children diagnosed with this disorder need to know they are not alone. There are other families facing the same challenges. Believe in yourself – you can do this.”

“One Step Forward Two Steps Back – Living with ADHD/ODD: A Mother’s Perspective” is an intimate, compelling foray into the life of a single parent struggling to cope with her son’s disability.
