You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! (2006) by Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo is a practical self-help book for adults living with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD). The authors combine personal experience with professional insights to explain how symptoms like forgetfulness, distraction, and impulsivity are often misunderstood as laziness or irresponsibility. Instead, they reframe these struggles as challenges of a neurological condition that can be managed with the right tools. The book provides guidance on developing strategies for time management, organization, self-acceptance, and building supportive relationships.

Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo emphasize empowerment by showing readers they are not defined by negative labels. They focus on shifting self-perception, reducing shame, and encouraging self-compassion, while offering practical advice for handling everyday obstacles. Their approach blends humor, empathy, and actionable steps, making the book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve quality of life while living with ADD/ADHD¹.
