This text is a day-by-day account of how Stefan Fletcher, a boy diagnosed with ADHD, unusual and difficult behaviour affects and disrupts family life. The author describes in detail the struggles, embarrassments and triumphs her family experiences throughout a four year period of Stefan's childhood. The diary ends with an expression of the family's love for Stefan - as he approaches adolescence, they will learn new ways to cope with the challenges of his behaviour, applying the knowledge they have gained through experience. The book gives a different perspective to the understanding of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - it describes this complex set of behaviours from the inside. The last chapter gives a clinical description of ADHD; the appendices contain useful addresses for more information and support networks, and a list of recommended reading.

Stefan, diagnosed with a severe form of ADHD, creates havoc on an almost daily basis. His mother, Jacky Fletcher, has written a diary about their family life. There is no doubt that turmoil follows wherever he treads but, in a funny, moving and inspirational account, the reader gains a unique insight into the frustrations of living with ADHD. Although admiration and compassion must go to Stefan's exhausted and endlessly patient family, Stefan's personality shines through. He is charming, difficult, unpredictable, intelligent and very much loved.
