From Doctor Blumenthal

As a doctor who treats kids on the Autism and ADHD Spectrum, and as another boy who grew up 'hyperactive' in the 1960's, I was impressed with how well "Different Drummers" conveyed what it felt like to experience the world through those eyes.

Along with the ability to make one laugh, cry, despair, and hope, which marks all great storytelling, "Different Drummers" does as good a job of putting the reader in the shoes of a boy with ADHD as 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night' did for autism.

This should be requisite reading for anyone who teaches, cares for, is raising, or wants to understand what it feels like to be someone going through the world with that un-requested 'little bit more' that hallmarks people with ADHD.
