SynopsisIt is frustrating to know you are making social mistakes and yet not know what you are doing wrong. And more important, not know what you are "supposed" to do. Because of the blinks and blanks of AD/HD, it can be difficult picking up the finer points of social interaction. It just seems that everyone else knows the rules and you don't., Focusing on social skills training for adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (AD/HD), this book offers solutions for tackling behavior that is often inattentive, impulsive, and hyperactive. Advice is given on how to handle common social problems such as manners, etiquette, communication, subtext, listening, and interpersonal relationships. The format of the book is designed for AD/HD learning styles and includes true stories, practical exercises, and tips that keep those with AD/HD reading. Adults with AD/HD learn how to identify behaviors in themselves that can cause problems in social relationships.
