Adventures in ADD & Addiction
Memoir
This is a coming-of-age saga that highlights the perils and peaks of living with misdiagnosed ADHD, learning disabilities, dysfunctional family dynamics and rock and roll. It's equal parts funny and frenetic. The author weaves in the way she documents periods of her life through eclectic music, as she takes you along with her on bittersweet, misadventures. Get lost everywhere (GPS wasn't a thing yet), including in Jamaica, Israel, and Canada and learn what it's like to grow up missing social cues, not getting sarcasm, misplacing and replacing entire wardrobes, and navigating life smart but spacey.

Rachel Wills is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with adults with ADHD and co-occurring disorders. After living on both coasts' multiple times, she returned to her home state of Maryland and set down roots. She's active in her local long-term recovery community, synagogue and neighborhood. However, she used to admittedly, be 'all over the place' and couldn't choose just one profession and stick with it if her life depended on it, which it did. Ms. Wills was told by a child psychologist that the severity of her 'minimal brain dysfunction' (now commonly referred to as ADHD) would preclude her going to college. Yet, she completed two vastly different graduate school programs (the first while backpacking throughout the country and living in a consensus-based community).
Her constant sense of feeling 'different' and 'other-than' which once led her to abuse substances and job hop became her greatest asset - empathy. Today, Ms. Wills is proud to call herself a wildflower among orderly roses. She's still not the most organized but is fervent about helping others learn to become their own best advocate and embrace themselves for who they are.
