About Adderall Blues

Product Description Adderall Blues is a catalyst for change in the educational system. This first person account of ADHD is among the only books to offer a non-clinical perspective of ADHD where we can all understand on a deeper level the blessing and the curse that is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Seen through the eyes of one of literatures' most outlandish characters, a greater connection with those afflicted with the pathologically wondering mind society loves to label is felt and processed from an altogether different perceptive. Observe as our main character trips over himself endlessly while succeeding uniquely in his own fashion. Does Brian conquer his supposed "disorder", and transcend the label, or fall into the self-esteem trap that so many others have succumbed to? Prepare to be entertained and most importantly, enlightened. Review **Finalist: 2017 American Book Fest Best Book Award** " Few books on this subject have explored the positive side of ADHD and this alone makes ADDERALL BLUES an important read." --Indie Reader (IR Approved Starred Review) "I loved the power in the writer's voice as well as how genuine the read was. I found the perspective of the character to be as I was hearing a story from a friend and helping him along his journey. Adderall Blues by Brian J. Robinson is defiantly an educational and inspiring read as it focuses on the strengths rather than the flaws that come with every person. Mental illness or not, power is within all of us. The description of the feelings and emotion can be felt through each page and with every word." -- Chelsea Girard, Book Reviewer at Bibilobeautybooks "Finally! A blunt but objective book that debunks ADHD labels and exposes the unfortunate and limiting ways in which societal norms inhibit brilliance. Mr. Robinson's journey of interrupted genius is a first and important step toward a much-needed societal shift in which learning disabilities are celebrated...not diagnosed" -- Dr. Peter J. McDonald, PhD. (Educational Policy) "A wonderful, in-your-face book relating one young person's struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder..." -- Dr. Ned Hallowell M.D., Harvard Medicine and Author of  Driven to Distraction "If we posit that creativity, the combination of disparate concepts to achieve unique solutions, is the currency of the future, then people like Brian present the engines of innovation."  -- Damian Brenes Dominguez, Founder Spil Creative, Inc. "Brian has captured, without exception, the frustration and incite into the world of attention deficit disorder. His stories are relatable. I commend his writing skills and purpose. -- Dr. Samuel Schenker, MD (Neurologist) "Adderall Blues tells an engaging tale of a young man finding his way in the world while learning about himself and his ADHD. Robinson's story is an important lesson in understanding how to unlock the potential of young people, especially those diagnosed with attention deficit disorders." -- A. Corcoran (Former Educator, Master of Public Policy) "Blues is a compelling firsthand account...Robinson wrote Adderall Blues not only to share his personal story but to inspire others to progressively reimagine the way they support those with ADHD." -- Daniel Patterson, Huffington Post "A much needed memoir to highlight a crucial topic in today's society. Mr. Robinson's story is witty, engaging, humorous and thought-provoking; a bold confession that brings to the forefront a struggle that so many people deal with on a daily basis. This is a must read for anyone whose life may have been touched by ADHD or other learning disabilities. " -- Dr. Rama Ayyala, MD, Columbia University Medical Center "This refreshingly honest account of living with ADHD reframes both the struggles and gifts that come along with this stigmatized diagnosis. A passionate reminder of the need for our education system to nurture the
