IN HIS OWN WORDSAnthony Rossicci Henriquez, a bright, active, normal young boy is misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD before entering the first grade. His doctor prescribes Ritalin to calm him down.Upon entering school, he is placed in Special Education classes with mentally and physically handicapped children unable to learn at a normal pace.Anthony knows he does not belong in Special Ed but is unable to convince anyone to listen to his plea to move him into regular classes. His cries go unheard throughout his entire school career and he is deprived of a proper education.ROSSICCI is simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting as Anthony tells his personal story-in his own words-of the high cost he paid for others' mistakes.Parents, teachers, doctors, and others in a position of influence over a young child's life will find this book both enlightening and frightening. It is Anthony's sincere wish that his story might help at least one misdiagnosed child escape the struggle he endured...and still wrestles with today.
