Resumen del Editor
From the best-selling author of the classic book on ADD Driven to Distraction, a memoir of the strange upbringing that shaped Dr. Edward M. Hallowell's celebrated career.
When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.
The voice turned out to be right. Now, decades later, Hallowell is a leading expert on attention disorders and the author of 20 books, including Driven to Distraction, the work that introduced ADD to the world. In Because I Come from a Crazy Family, he tells the often strange story of a childhood marked by what he calls the "WASP triad" of alcoholism, mental illness, and politeness and explores the wild wish, surging beneath his incredible ambition, that he could have saved his own family of drunk, crazy, and well-intentioned eccentrics - and himself.
Because I Come from a Crazy Family is an affecting, at times harrowing, ultimately moving memoir about crazy families and where they can lead, about being called to the mental health profession and about the unending joys and challenges that come with helping people celebrate who they are.

In "Matricide", Daum unflinchingly describes a parent's death and the uncomfortable emotions it provokes; and in "Diary of a Coma" she relates her own journey to the twilight of the mind. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

We're eager to leave the "kid" stage, yet we're uncertain about what adolescence will bring; we start hearing the familiar refrain "wait until you're older" far too often. Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul is a companion guide for these transitional years.

On the day Paul and Kerry, her parents, brought her home from the hospital they were flooded with worry and uncertainty, but also overwhelming love, which they channeled to “the job of building the better Jillian”. While their daughter had special needs, they refused to allow her to grow up needy - “expect, don’t accept” became their mantra.

Dreaming of a "year in Provence" with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoe, Katie's teenage daughter. Katie and Zoe had become a mother-daughter team, strong enough, Katie thought, to absorb the arrival of a 77-year-old woman set in her ways....

Historia
It seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it. An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider.

Historia
Ever since he was small, John Robison had longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits, an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes, had earned him the label "social deviant". No guidance came from his mother or his father. It was no wonder he gravitated to machines, which could, at least, be counted on.

Paige Layle was normal. She lived in the countryside with her mom, dad, and brother Graham. She went to school, hung out with friends, and all the while everything seemed so much harder than it needed to be. A break in routine threw off the whole day. If her teacher couldn't answer “why” in class, she dissolved into tears, unable to articulate her own confusion or explain her lack of control.

Like many others on the autism spectrum, 20-something stand-up comic Michael McCreary has been told by more than a few well-meaning folks that he doesn’t “look” autistic. But, as he’s quick to point out in this memoir, autism “looks” different for just about everyone with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, "What is wrong with my husband?!" In David Finch's case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains David's ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinical-strength inflexibility. But it doesn't make him any easier to live with.

plodding narration
Good enough story if a bit wandering. Narration is pedantic, which takes away from the story. Interesting topics, though. Stayed with it to the end.

Gripping, moving, relatable
Being a Ned-nerd and fellow ADDult, I knew I would like this book. I was surprised at the many obstacles Ned had while growing up, given that he comes across as so well-balanced. I was also shocked by the types of experieces he had I could totally relate to, such as the parental alcoholism and the "enmeshed" family (although, because my alcoholic parent drove everyone off when I was very young, most of my enmeshment was not the loving, supportive kind). I was very sad they lost cousin Lyn, this part of the story bringing up melancholic appreciation for the souls, long passed, who also "saved" me. The unearned guilt when his mother died also reminded me how I tried so hard to give my mom a happy life toward the end, and how I so miserably failed. Lyn telling Ned not to feel guilty was Lyn also telling me not to feel guilty.
As a writer, I realized from the start that this medical doctor was really a writer! The melodious prose and just-deep-enough characters could have easily made a best-selling novel. Maybe Dr. Hallowell will take his teacher's advice someday.
Narration was mechanical at times, like an electronic voice assistant. But I thought he did the characters and accents well.

Inattentive ADHD or ADD???
Good book, but he confused me by calling Inattentive ADHD - ADD.... This book was published after the DSM-5 and he still holds an active license.... why use the wrong name for the diagnosis?

Beautiful story!
What a beautiful memoir of a person’s life. Dr. Hallowell is clearly intelligent, so insightful about his life experiences, and shares heartache and love with equal wit and intensity. What a gift to the world, especially people who suffer from mental health issues, to know that those issues can be addressed and overcome. I wish he was my doctor. Thank you!

Hilarious and heartbreaking, an unexpected surprise
When I bought this audiobook to listen to, I was not expecting the story that I got. I was expecting stories from patients he interacted with. What I got was a delightful story of the authors life. Although some parts were very heartbreaking, there is a lot of hope and inspiration, mixed with hilarious stories. This was definitely an unexpected surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed. I did find it unnecessarily long with something like 70 chapters. I would still recommend this.

Love and connection permeates through this book!
This book should be a best seller! Dr. Hallowell has done an amazing job bringing to life a memoir of different family members, friends, professors, practitioners, and clients that shaped and molded him to become a world-renowned psychiatrist with best-selling books on various mental health issues facing the greater public.
This book made me laugh out loud at the different idiosyncrasies that people possess that make them special and unique individuals. This book made me think about mental health and gave me a new perspective on the humanness that we all share. Such as needing to connect at a higher level of consciousness in order to really help someone and support them in times of crisis, difficulties or challenging issues. This book made me more spiritually aware that God can play a larger part in my life if I choose to look at things through the lens that eventually we all have the same outcome in this world. It's essential to do good and help in any way we can to create more beauty and connection in this world through our choice of words, actions, and thoughts. This book made me cry and mourn the loss of people that have lost their lives either due to lack of treatment, circumstances beyond their control, or mental illness. Each person has their story to tell and in death, that story comes to an end but their legacy lives on through the people that they connected with in their life.
I learned a lot from this book and I will read it again to gain more insight in the future because it is packed full of depth that deserves multiple reads. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows someone that has a mental illness, a difficult family life due to alcoholism or drug abuse, anyone who wants to become a Doctor, and most of all people that want to understand how to connect with others on a spiritual and emotional level seldom felt in everyday life.
My only critique of this audible presentation was the performance done by Paul Boehmer. I thought it was great but I really had difficulty relating to him as Dr. Hallowell at first. Over time though his voice grew on me and I liked how he used different inflections for the characters, his cadence fluctuation, and his east coast accent.
This should be in your book collection and I really think you will enjoy learning about Dr. Hallowell's journey through life and his amazing family members that provided him with a greater capacity to forgive, love, and cherish all people in this world especially those who have difficulty reciprocating that love due to mental illness and disorders.

Hallowell never disappoints.
Again, Ed Hallowell has delivered a down to earth description of hard to swallow life “stuff”. It is more colorful and descriptive than his previous books, perhaps it is because it is his family story, not a story born of his years in psychiatry. For as long as I can remember he has offered hope through education and advice for managing ADHD. How brave to share so openly in this book about his chaotic upbringing. I think many will receive comfort in knowing no family is perfect and maybe coming from a messy family with mental illness does not mean one must settle. Perhaps it’s possible to become a best selling author, psychiatrist and international expert who changes lives. Thank you Dr. Hallowell for sharing your story.
