Diagnosed with ADHD while he was a struggling college student,
Robert Jergen's incredible life story progresses from being a happy
child who enjoyed school and wanted to learn to a state of
withdrawal and depression because of the constant reprimands from
his parents and teachers. By eighth grade, Jergen had twice tried
killing himself. By college, he was an alcoholic. Finally, when he
thought he was going to end up in a "white padded room," he was
diagnosed with ADHD. Years of pain, anguish, frustration, anger,
and rejection were suddenly explained. Jergen describes how he
turned ADHD into an asset that enabled him to get his Ph.D. in half
the time as his non-ADHD peers, become a tenured associate
professor at age 34, publish five books in two years, and-most
importantly-find peace and happiness. Jergen presents ADHD from the
view of the child who actually has it and illustrates how constant
academic and social failures can gradually wear away at the child's
self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. The Little Monster is a
valuable tool for any parent, professional, or individual who is
touched by ADHD or similar conditions.
