Martin L. Kutscher, M.D. is a pediatric neurologist with more than 25 years' experience of diagnosing neuropsychiatric disorders such as ADHD, learning difficulties, Asperger's Syndrome, and tic disorders and helping families affected by them. His private practice is limited to pediatric behavioral neurology, with offices in Rye Brook, W. Nyack, Middletown, and Wappingers Falls, New York. He was formerly Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at the New York Medical College and he is the author of ADHD – Living with Brakes and Children with Seizures, both published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.Tony Attwood, Ph.D. is a practicing clinical psychologist specializing in the field of Asperger's Syndrome. Over the last 30 years he has worked with hundreds of individuals with this condition. He is the author of the classic Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. Robert R. Wolff, M.D. has extensive experience with childhood neuro-behavior problems and is currently an Assistant in Neurology at the Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.

This is the first book anyone attempting to understand a child with these disorders should read. Dr. Kutscher takes complex medical information and transforms it into a reader friendly format for the non-professional. He has taken so much great information by so many renowned professionals in the field and combined it with his own understanding and empathy in a truly unique book. His examples are so true to life it brought back many memories. I only wish I had his list of tips and strategies 30 years ago when we started our journey with ADHD. I will be recommending this book to parents, educators and anyone else wishing to help these children lead happy and successful lives.
