“A-D/HD: A Guide for Drifters in a Squirrel Moment” by Mitchell Spero is now available for purchase

He has served as Supervising Psychologist at Cross Roads School, is a Certified Family Mediator appointed by the Supreme Court of Florida, and has taught counseling psychology at the university level. Dr. Spero is also the Owner and Director of Stable Life, L.L.C., and a published author and game creator, known for works such as Florida the Turtle Who Thinks He’s a Dog Finds His Feelings and A-D/HD Guide for Drifters in a Squirrel Moment, reflecting his commitment to accessible psychological education and emotional development tools.

“A-D/HD: A Guide for Drifters in a Squirrel Moment” breaks down the confusing, overwhelming, and often misunderstood world of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in a way that real people—parents, teachers, and adults living with A-D/HD—can actually understand. The authors explain what A-D/HD really is, how it shows up in daily life, and why it’s so often misdiagnosed or misunderstood. They explore the science behind attention, the role of the brain, the differences between distractibility and difficulty returning to tasks, and how memory, motivation, and emotional experiences all play a part.

What makes this book truly stand out is how it simplifies complex concepts without dumbing anything down. Dr. Spero and the late Dr. Michael explore the brain’s “attention systems,” why kids (or adults) drift, why focus collapses, and why motivation isn’t as simple as “just try harder.” They talk about the real science behind A-D/HD—stuff most of us have never heard, but that instantly makes everything click. Even better, they blend that science with relatable examples that make you think, Okay, that explains a LOT. Readers who’ve felt judged or misunderstood will probably feel relief just seeing themselves described with empathy instead of criticism.

The target audience includes parents, teachers, mental-health professionals, and adults who suspect they might have A-D/HD themselves. But honestly? Anyone who’s ever struggled with focus, forgetfulness, or that “my brain just hopped three planets away” feeling can find something valuable here. The book gently breaks down myths—like the idea that someone is “just lazy” or “just bored”—and shows how deeply harmful these misunderstandings can be. It reminds us that behind every frustrated adult or confused child is a very real human being who needs support, not shame.

When we understand someone’s inner world, we stop blaming them for the way they’re built—and start helping them thrive. That lesson applies far beyond A-D/HD. Whether it’s your coworker who interrupts too often, your child who forgets every step except the last one, or even yourself, compassion and understanding go a long way. If you’re ready for a book that will genuinely change how you see attention, learning, and human behavior—and maybe even help you feel a little more normal in the process—this one is absolutely worth adding to your cart.
