Bryan has totally cut to the heart of the matter when it comes to relationships as (or with) someone who has ADHD. Embracing our differences as ADDers, then seeing and enjoying the "sexiness" in what I used to beat myself up about is very liberating. Bryan's style of writing is so refreshing - there are now quite a few books available to help us ADDers with life now (all good and many are great) but in this and his other books, Bryan somehow really gets right to the real stuff. If you haven't visited his website - DO! All the emotions - the aching pain of loss, the depth of despair, the turmoil of opportunities lost, the certainty of "knowing I was made for something big in this world", the craziness that ADHD brings, the joy that diagnosis brings (with the subsequent journey of self-discovery), the incredible power of a supportive and understanding partner, and the exhilaration of finding "the one". As I read and turned the pages, it was as though Bryan was sitting there as a friend and saying "hey Wendy, what you feel, I have felt. It's okay...". The book is a genuine, honest, sometimes raw, account of one man's journey and musings... to which I could relate on so many levels, even though our journeys are vastly different. It was simply delightful reading "ADHD can be sexy" on so many levels. This is a definitely an ALL ADDers MUST READ book!!!! Bryan you are a legend.

He's done it again! Bryan's second book, "The Brilliant Reality of ADHD", reaffirmed that, even with ADD, I'm OK, I'm a person with potential, I can be successful in life, and I'm even brilliant, with a sparkling personality. Now, Bryan L. Hutchinson, has come out with just the right book at the right time, telling me, and others like me, that we can find our soul mate, we can be loved, and are worthy of love, and we can have a good relationship, in spite of, and even because of, some of our natural traits that are part of the shiny,gift-wrapped package of ADHD. He even tells us that "Adult ADHD Can Be Sexy"!
Bryan's sense of humor and ability to tell a good story as he shares his own life experiences, comes out in this book, which is easy reading, fun and informative, as well as a practical how-to book on relationships in general, and, more specifically, relationships that are affected by ADHD. I just got the book last week, and have already read it three times, and will continue reading it for its timely advice, considering that both my soul mate and I have ADHD/ADD. But the book isn't just for people with ADHD. It is also for their companions who don't have ADHD, but who often don't have a clue of what is going on in their relationship because of the ADHD factor. It is encouraging to realize after reading the book, that it isn't anybody's fault, and there are solutions to problems and frustrations that may be caused by ADHD, and that some of the natural traits of the ADDer can actually increase the fun, intrigue, and adventure of the relationship.
I also highly recommendThe Brilliant Reality of ADHDas a companion book to gain more insight into the blessings and challenges of ADHD.

Bryan’s third book focuses on the relationship in the presence of ADD. With a thought-provoking title, he has brought the meaning of sexy to a whole new level. While sexiness is sometimes associated with troubled people, into which an ADDer can easily be classified, this book is not intented to celebrate or indulge such traits. Nor is it to negate the negative traits and call ADD altogether as ‘a gift’.
On the contrary, Bryan asserts that being a sexy ADDer is about recognising and embracing all the traits, good and bad. Being sexy means to raise from the ashes of multiple heartbreaks, failures, hurts, and dissapointment. Being sexy is to see and accept the truth even though it is painful, that sometimes things don’t work out the way we want. Good-byes, ends, do exist, and the best thing we can do is to let it happen and move on.
While this book seems to be written for couples, it is also useful for singles. I found this book helps me learn from my past mistakes, redefine what I want in and be ready for a future relationship. Moreover, this book helps find the sexiness in me.
Without further elaboration, I strongly recommend that you read this book. You will be glad that you have ADD, because it makes you damn sexy!
