Dr. Russell Barkley has been something of a firebrand in the ADHD community for over four decades. With twenty-five books - 43 separate editions - and his name behind numerous assessment scales and journal articles, he has established a career of education and advocacy in the field second to none. Today, Dr. Barkley joins us on the ADHD podcast.

He's here, ostensibly, to tell us all about his new book - 12 Principles for Raising a Child with ADHD - but the conversation quickly turns toward advocacy, the tangible dangers of ADHD as a disorder, and the lives lost because too many dismiss it.
