Not sure what to say?

He was honest with me about what many sufferers learn over time: that if ADHD medication doesn´t work, there´s not much else.

Tom was an amazing man - a truly kind, empathetic person, who strived to make the world a better place. And he did. He will be sorely missed.

Please accept my sincere condolences. As a special education teacher and someone diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, I have followed and cited Dr. Brown´s work. His clarity and compassion shaped my classroom and gave me hope. I´m deeply grateful for his legacy.

Parmi ses travaux, Thomas Brown a écrit un livre de grande qualité pour les professionnels du TDAH, ce livre a été traduit en français (par Marc-Antoine Crocq et Alexis Boehrer) et il m'a été d'une très grande utilité pour comprendre en détail l'impact du dysfonctionnement exécutif dans le TDAH. Je suis triste aujourd'hui et regrette la disparition de cet homme qui était pour moi une référence, un grand chercheur qui par son travail a permis d'améliorer la connaissance de ce trouble complexe...
