“There are not enough words to express my love for this book.”

“This book offers real solutions to help adults deal with the emotional issues that can be the most pernicious aspect of this otherwise kind-of-wonderful way of being.”

“The missing manual for the emotional side of ADHD.”

“Among all the research papers, organization books, and ADHD articles, this book is what I keep coming back to.”

“Filled with hope and humor.”

“The tools in this book are what I have been looking for ever since I was diagnosed with ADHD. . . I was missing the techniques for dealing with my internal world but could not find them, until now. I dove into the middle of the book as James suggested for someone like me and found techniques that I was able to immediately put to use.”

“[James Ochoa] truly understands how I feel because he has been there/is there himself. The way he describes the experiences of ADHD made me feel like I'm OK, not a freak and perhaps I even have a chance at a fulfilling life.”

“Insightful and plain spoken, this book goes to the heart of what can be the crippling self-doubt and self-sabotage of adult ADHD. The analogy in the title to a ’storm’ is very powerful image for the ADHD individual who has often struggled for years. The diagnosis of Emotional Distress Syndrome captures that overwhelming sense of private hopelessness with a public face that is maintained to attempt functioning with a crippling emotional distress.”

“Oh my goodness, after beginning to read your book, I feel like I understand my son at a more profound level than I ever have. . . I don’t know if there’s a single book out there that evokes this much compassion from family members of those diagnosed with ADHD. I think it’s going to be a great resource.”
