The author states that the book has been written for a wide public —which includes, among others, parents of children with AD/HD and professionals (neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.)— and gives 11 reasons for which the book has been written, mainly lack of knowledge and misconceptions about the disorder and its treatment.
