ADHD
Disorder, Difference, Spectrum and Human AdaptationBy Richard Murdoch Montgomery, MD, PhD
Length23h 51m
About this audiobook
ADHD: Disorder, Difference, Spectrum, and Human Adaptation is an ambitious and deeply human exploration of one of the most discussed—and most misunderstood—conditions of modern life. Richard Murdoch Montgomery brings together neuroscience, clinical medicine, psychology, history, evolution, education, and lived experience to examine ADHD beyond simplistic labels. The book follows the condition from childhood through adulthood and ageing, exploring attention, executive function, emotion, motivation, diagnosis, medication, therapy, comorbidity, relationships, work, education, creativity, and social context. Rather than presenting ADHD merely as deficit or celebrating it uncritically as difference, Montgomery develops a more nuanced view: a neurodevelopmental configuration whose difficulties and strengths emerge through the interaction between the individual and the world. Scholarly yet personal, rigorous yet compassionate.
