Great book for anyone who has been labeled ADHD. Since age 12 I have been on a form of Adderall and while it helps me I feel that it is a crutch until I find something in this world that I am passionate about.
The review on the back of the book says it all.
"Mooney uses self deprecating humor to diffuse anything that smacks of a pity party. Most important, he celebrates the immense diversity of human minds, reminding us that there is much to be learned from those who make their home somewhere beyond "normal."

I am 27 years old and I finally found a book that meant something.

This book would be great for a teen or early 20's adult. The author relays personal stories about growing up with ADHD. He also chronicles his journey across the US in his very own "short bus." He meets up with people from all walks of life who are affected by or have ADHD. Be warned, there is some foul language in the book.
Jonathan Mooney was labeled dyslexic and learning disabled as a child. Overcoming this label created this wonderful book. It is lighthearted, chatty and fun to read of his adventures in his tour in his bus visiting other people so labeled around the country. He has accomplished so much in his odyssey finishing college for one thing. He is irreverent, outrageous, but real. You'll find out there is no such thing as normal. I really enjoyed this book and Jonathan Mooney is someone I would like to have as a friend.
