And, for those who don’t have ADD but know someone who does, the insight and guidance will provide clarity and, it is hoped, options for better ways of relating. Adventures in Fast Forward is filled with important tools and tactics for self-care and success, and also includes many personal stories from others that tell how and why these approaches have worked for them.
