About the Book

Chasing Kites is unflinching look at growing up with ADHD at a time in which there was little to no awareness. If you want to know and feel what someone with ADHD goes through, there is not a better way to understand than Chasing Kites.

Tom Nardone shares his personal stories in the most honest and genuine fashion. Some of which are hysterically funny, while others are quite moving and touching. Through these stories, Tom connects with his readers by actually explaining what was going through his mind, and/or his thought process at the time which they occurred.

Tom, for more than half of his life, was not accepted by the majority of his peers.He did not fit into any of society's norms. This was evident in the fact he was bullied and picked on daily for his first 10 years of school, and the fact he was fired from more jobs than he can recount.

Chasing Kites is not an ADHD manual. It is a true story that spans from kindergarten through high school and well into adulthood. It's a story of victory and defeat. It's a story of love and hate. Chasing Kites is the story of Tom Nardone going from being a troubled young boy to being a hero to so many others like him.

"Tom writes with passion, sincerity, and honesty. I was moved to tears."
Rick Green of "TotallyADD(c)"

"There are a handful of people in the ADHD universe who can successfully combine biting humor with heart-wrenching truth to yield provocative prose that entertain while enlightening. Tom Nardone is one of the few."
Alan Brown of "ADDCrusher(c)" and "CrusherTV(c)"

"I have never read anything so vulnerable, so honest, so inspiring or funny. I highly recommend it."
Laurie Dupar of "The International ADHD Coach Training Center(c)"

"Gripping and compelling! I did not put it down until the end."
Jennie Friedman of the "See in ADHD(c)" Podcast

Tom Nardone is widely known in the ADHD community from his writing, interaction, and most notably "The Tom Nardone Show" which can be heard on iTunes(c) and iHeartRadio(c). Tom is an unapologetic fresh voice in the ADHD community, and is respected and loved for the entertaining attitude he takes toward his own ADHD.

While for a long time it has been Tom Nardone's primary purpose to entertain his audience, this book is something very different. Tom loves ADHD people. It is primarily for them and their family and friends for whom he wrote Chasing Kites however, anyone who reads this will get something from it.


About the Author: Tom Nardone is a freelance writer, blogger, and uniquely motivational speaker, but he didn't intend to be any of these things.
In the early days of his web design and programming career, he set out to experience "the blog" first-hand. He wrote about what he knew best: himself. He is Tom Nardone, a self-proclaimed fountain of insight.
Tom's blog ADHDpeople.net has become wildly popular. Thousands of regular followers log on daily for those nuggets of sarcastic truths, inspiration, and laughter. Ask Tom Nardone why he writes, and he will candidly admit it is for the attention. This is a typical Tom Nardone response. Funny, honest, and sticky. Does he write for attention because he has attention deficit disorder?
Tom Nardone was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at age 29. Through his writing, he candidly shares relatable experiences of living with untreated and treated ADHD. Tom doesn't consider ADHD a curse, nor does he wish for a cure. It is precisely this attitude that has inspired countless bloggers, ADHD coaches, parents, educators, and the ADHD community.
Tom Nardone writes about ADHD to encourage people to embrace the excitement, creativity, resilience, and sensitivity characteristic of many diagnosed with ADHD. His style is infused with frankness and humor. His focus is promoting self-acceptance through entertainment.
Tom Nardone's articles have been featured in a number of online publications, including ADD Connect, ADHD Roller Coaster: News and Essays About Adult ADHD, and Living ADDventure. He is an active contributor to discussions on dozens of blogs, clearly establishing currency in popular ADHD culture.
Tom has been a featured guest on The Miss ADD Show, Attention Talk Radio, See in ADHD and ADHD reWired.
Tom Nardone and his wife of nine years, Yvonne, who is also diagnosed with ADHD, recently launched a podcast called The Tom Nardone Show. They welcome listeners into their double-diagnosed lives and show what it's like to live amidst their chaos, confusion, and complete companionship. They hide nothing.
When Tom Nardone is not blogging, podcasting, or spending time with his lovely wife and step-son, he is doing what he's best at. Being himself. Working at the Home Depot. Contemplating the ways and means of a hundred thoughts at once. Tom Nardone writes from his not-so-tidy man-cave in Simpsonville, South Carolina.
