Compelling stories that present a new view of ADHD Smart but Stuck offers 15 true and compelling stories about intelligent, capable teens and adults who have gotten "stuck" at school, work, and/or in social relationships because of their ADHD. Dr. Brown highlights the often unrecognized role that emotions play in this complex disorder.

brain 7 A new understanding of ADHD and emotions; why emotions can be so
troubling in the lives of those with ADHD; how the ADHDbrain processes
emotions differently; the influences of temperament and experiences on
emotions and motivations. 2 Eric 43 "I'm in a great university where I want
to do well, but I just can't get myself motivated to do the work. I did
really well in high school; nowmy grades have tanked. I've been spending
too much time hanging out with my girlfriend and smoking weed. I've tried
some ADHD medicines, but they make me too jittery." --20-year-old
university student 3 Karen 65 "My parents always taught me that I have an
obligation to behave and achieve in ways that would not bring shame on my
family.When I failed out of college, they helped me prepare to try again. I
wanted very much to do it, but on that critical day when I was supposed to
start the last two courses I needed to get readmitted, I was too afraid to
walk in the classroom door." --22-year-old university student 4 Martin 81
"I'm in Mensa, but I earned no credits in my first two years at college--I
was too baked to get myself to class.Now I'mdoing well in a few
courseswhere the professors are really interesting, but I can't get started
on writing papers and often skip class. . . .With my miserable academic
record, what's the use in my trying to graduate?" --23-year-old university
student 5 Sarah 103 "I've been married twenty-five years, have three great
kids, and had a decent career as a journalist, but I just got fired because
I couldn't prioritize and keep up with my work. Sincemenopause I've
hadtrouble keeping track of things and getting work done. I've always had
some trouble with these things, but it's recently been getting worse."
--50-year-old homemaker and mother 6 Mike 119 "My dad always said that I'm
smart but just lazy;maybe he's right. I got put on academic probation, and
now I have to drop out. I'm always spacing out and can't get myself started
on anything until the last minute. I tried my friend's ADHD medicine and it
helped a lot, butmy dad doesn't wantme getting evaluated for ADHDbecause he
says themeds are like steroids." --21-year-old university student 7 Lisa
137 "Other kids don't seem to get my jokes and aren't interested in who I
am. I try to make friends, but no one ever calls me back when I call them.
I try to talk with my parents about it, but my dad doesn't understand kids
and my mom's always yelling at me. ADHD meds help me get schoolwork done,
but they don't help with social stuff." --15-year-old high school student 8
Steve 155 "My wife divorced me three months ago, and then a month later I
got fired from my job--both because of my ADHD! Meds help some, but not
enough. I get stuck doing some things and don't get around to doing what's
really important. I procrastinate, and everything takes me way too long.
I'm good at programming computers, but not at programming myself."
--32-year-old computer programmer 9 Sue 169 "Until I got into middle
school, I always got really good grades and never got into trouble. Now
everybody thinks I'm hopeless just because I dress Goth and don't do much
homework. My parents and teachers all look down on me just because of the
friends I hang out with. They don't really know me or my friends!"
--14-year-old high school student 10 Matt 185 "When I was in high school, I
had friends.When I got to college, I didn't know anyone and was too shy to
make friends. I just kept to myself and almost never left my room except to
go to class or get meals. I got pretty depressed, and after a while my
sleep got messed up. I've stopped going to some of my classes."
--18-year-old college student 11 Lois 203 "I teach special education, so
I've taught a lot of kids with ADHD, but never realized I have it. I have
trouble organizing my stuff and finishing paperwork on time, and sometimes
I'm forgetful. I got through college and I've been teaching for ten years,
but over the past year I've had a harder time, and those ADHD problems are
getting worse--especially since difficulties at home began." --37-year-old
school teacher 12 James 219 "If I don't finish four papers this month, I'm
going to be put on probation at school. I just can't get myself to finish.
I've had this problem for a long time, but now it's worse than ever before.
I've done the research for most of my papers, but I can't getmyself past
the first paragraph in any one of them. I'm stuck!" --20-year-old college
student 13 Getting Unstuck 235 How do the emotions of these teens and
adults affect their education, work, family interactions, and social
relationships? What treatments are useful for helping people with ADHD get
unstuck from these difficulties? What can family members, friends,
teachers, clinicians, and counselors do to help? Questions for Discussion
