Driven to Distraction
In Driven to Distraction, published in 1994, Hallowell claimed "ADHD has symptoms that include trouble concentrating, impulsivity, disorganization, procrastination and hyperactivity. Along with behavioral therapy, medication is good because it can improve adults' relationships, parenting skills, job performance, even their sex lives".
Hallowell said "ADHD, when treated properly, is not only "powerfully positive" but probably what made people like Albert Einstein, Edgar Allan Poe, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, John Irving and Henry Ford so special".

In May 2015, Hallowell charged with groping a woman in October 2014. but given pre-trial probation for a year in September 2015.
