First sentence: In the land wher cars grow up much as people do, Carlotta's older brother, Rodrigo, often traveled the road ahead and sometimes beside her.
Description: This is a psycho-educational book for a young child who is being (or expects to be) evaluated to determine what ~if any~ role medication will have in the treatment of her conditions. The first condition suspected is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Inattentive Type. ‘Hyperactivity’ is writ small, because that particular feature may not be very prominent in the clinical picture of the child. However other features of ADHD, namely, inattention and impulsiveness may be quite troublesome. The second condition suspected is an Anxiety Disorder, which may be further combined with Depression.
