He was a tornado who couldn't speak intelligibly or control his temper, and was as likely to be found on the roof as he was on the ground. Today, this boy is a man who speaks two languages and eventually got a PhD. His doctoral thesis was so extraordinary it became an acclaimed book, covered by national and international media. After college, he served in the Israel Defense Forces, accepted an officer commission in the U.S. Marine Corps, taught at the university level, worked on Wall Street, and built a successful financial services firm. All from a boy who couldn't read or write until he was eight. Known for his groundbreaking work as a World War II historian, Rigg brings his gifts for academic research and storytelling to this memoir, in which he shares his personal experience in turning his distinctive gifts to his advantage. He shares his challenging journey, including the patience and persistence of his mother and teachers, his grit and determination to excel, the obstacles he still faces every day, and the benefits to living with learning disabilities and ADHD. It's an unsparing personal look into what actually works and what doesn't, and how this can help teachers, parents, and others in the LD/ADHD community. 'Conquering Learning Disabilities at Any Age' is a blueprint for creating a life that works with our neurological differences, and not against them"-- $c Page 4 of cover. 600 10 $a Rigg, Bryan Mark, $d 1971- 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder $x Diagnosis. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit-disordered adults $v Biography. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit-disordered children $v Biography. 650 0 $a Investment advisors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 12 $a Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity $0 (DNLM)D001289 650 12 $a Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity $x diagnosis $0 (DNLM)D001289Q000175 650 6 $a Adultes hyperactifs $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Enfants inattentifs $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Conseillers en placements $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a EÌcrivains ameÌricains $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $y 21e sieÌcle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373679 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 $a Authors, American $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Investment advisors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978168 650 7 $a Attention-deficit-disordered children $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820834 650 7 $a Attention-deficit-disordered adults $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820832 650 7 $a Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder $x Diagnosis $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820817 655 2 $a Biography $0 (DNLM)D019215 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 700 1 $a Hallowell, Edward M., $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 7 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240618010824.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240604011908.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010642.0 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20240503011724.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417025508.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010612.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240305011659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=39B2A580DABE11EEBE8532184BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
