520    "ADHD doesn't just affect kids--adults can have it too. 
       This will come as no surprise if you are close to an adult
       who has problems with attention, concentration, 
       distractibility, impulsiveness, forgetfulness, or self-
       control (or all of these symptoms). The good news is that 
       with effective treatment your loved one with ADHD can have
       a happier, more successful life and a stronger, closer 
       relationship with you and others. Without sugarcoating the
       facts, ADHD expert Russell A. Barkley explains what ADHD 
       is all about and how you can tell if your spouse, partner,
       friend, adult child, or sibling may have it. He shows how 
       to guide your loved one toward the right treatment and, 
       uses real-life examples to answer questions. Adults with 
       ADHD can achieve their goals and live out big dreams--and 
       you can help. In this book you will learn practical steps 
       for helping your loved one accept and manage his or her 
       disorder, and pursue unique, often nontraditional pathways
       to success." -- Page [4] cover.
