Only a Mother Could Love Him by Ben Polis

I think ‘Only a Mother Could Love Him’ is a really good book it’s about a boy (Ben Polis the writer of this book now a grown man) who suffered from ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.)

Ben Polis attended 6 different schools, served (he estimates) over 3000 hours of detention, and drove his entire family into counseling. But against all the odds, with a combination of self-taught concentration techniques and sheer determination he made it through the education system to university. This is his triumphant story – and a remarkable look inside the mind of a person with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. From his unique perspective, Ben describes what it’s really like to feel those constant inexplicable impulses, to get all that medication, to desperately want to be ‘normal’.

I would defiantly recommend this book to older readers (maybe 13 and up)
