Help Books on Adult ADHD?


Hi. I'm 21 y/o was just diagnosed with ADHD combined type. My health providers haven't really been helpful with educating me what exactly with what I have.

What are some good books that can first help me understand what ADHD is and what it is not. But mostly a book with tips on managing time and overall help.

Thanks for the recommendations.

There is a lot on line without having to buy a book.
Many people do not realise that ADHD affects adults as well as children; even some health professionals doubt the existence of adult ADHD. However studies that have followed children into adolescence and young adulthood find that around two thirds have continued difficulties coping with the disorder. Recent estimates suggest that as many as one in 100 adults would benefit from treatment for ADHD.
One of the problems in recognising the disorder in adults is that symptoms of ADHD are similar to experiences that we all have in our daily lives such as forgetfulness, boredom, irritability, lack of motivation, disorganisation and impulsivity. However in adult ADHD these common experiences start in early childhood and are far more persistent and severe than that experienced by other people. As a consequence, adult ADHD can cause considerable distress and may have a profound impact on an individual's level of function in their daily life.
Adults with ADHD describe a number of feelings and emotions that they find difficult to control and regulate. They feel restless most of the time and have difficulty sitting still even in situations that are calming or relaxing to most people. They experience multiple short-lived thoughts that are poorly focused and "on the go all the time". Some people liken this to "a vortex" or "spaghetti junction".
