To say that Gina Pera is an amazing woman is to understate the awesomeness of this woman, her pure heart and what she has done for the ADHD community. She is intelligent, she is stubborn, she is strong and she is passionate and most of all she sincerely cares. When you put all of that together, as an advocate and supporter of those with ADHD, you have someone who has become a voice of scope and scale beyond “I hope you feel better” to “let’s do something about it!”

I have had the privilege of getting to know Gina over the last year, we have written each other countless times about various issues concerning ADHD and we have talked about trivial stuff, serious stuff and hilarious, but sad unfortunate ridiculousness of others ignorant of what ADHD really is or that it even exists. Gina does not have ADHD, but I do think it is funny that she went out and got a copy of my book, started reading it and then lost it for nearly six months, but then found it mixed up with other stuff… perhaps she has gotten to know us ADDers a bit too well. She even wrote a sincere review on Amazon about my book mentioning that she had lost it. This brings me to the reason I am writing about Gina today:

Gina Pera has written a very important book. It is called “Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.? Stopping the Roller Coaster when Someone You Love has Attention Deficit Disorder”.  Putting together the facts that Gina is an author and award winning journalist, an ADHD advocate who leads a 400 member support group, CHADD ADHD moderator and coordinator and has a loved one with ADHD, you know her new book will help break the barrier between confusion and understanding of adult ADHD, especially in relationships suffering from undiagnosed and diagnosed ADD ADHD in a partner or relative.

The ADHD community is very fortunate and privileged to have such an amazing advocate as Gina Pera!
