A history of three failed marriages, thirty different jobs and four attempts at finally getting through college told him that something was desperately wrong. After years of frustration and failures he was finally diagnosed at the age i 36 with specific learning disabilities, ADD and Tourette Syndrome. Jimmie is now telling his story and his insights to help others who share these difficulties and to educate parents, teachers, counselors and employers. Mary Ann Golenbesky, past president of the Learning Disabilities Association of California, Jim's wonderful sense of humor and enviable bounce back attitude permeate the pages as the reader walks with him through a lifetime of confusion, frustration, self discovery, and triumphant self acceptance. Reading Square Peg in a Round Hole is the closest thing to being there yourself. It should be required reading for every educator and employer. This book is a valuable tool in working with your students as well as with recently diagnosed adults. There is something here for everyone with Learning Differences, attention difficulties or Tourette Syndrome.
