Penny Williams

2015 International Book Awards Winner: Psychology & Mental Health

2014 USA Best Book Awards: Parenting & Family, Finalist Award

A self-proclaimed "veteran" parent of a son with ADHD, Penny Williams is the creator of the award-winning website, {a mom's view of ADHD}, and a frequent contributor on parenting a child with ADHD for ADDitude Magazine, Healthline, and other parenting and special needs publications.

"I endured a long learning curve when my son was diagnosed with ADHD," says Williams. "I share my experiences parenting my son, Ricochet, in the hopes of shortening that painful time of trial by fire for others." Williams says she gains strength in parenting Ricochet through a quote from Albert Einstein, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

Williams' first book, Boy Without Instructions: Surviving the Learning Curve of Parenting a Child with ADHD, is an Amazon best-seller and a USA Best Book Awards winner. (#BoyWithoutInstructions). Her second book, What to Expect When Parenting Children with ADHD (#WhatToExpectADHD), won the Psychology & Mental Health category of the 2015 International Book Awards.
