Love Russell Barkley.

Was misdiagnosed with ADHD, but I later got the right diagnose, I still very much liked his compassion and knowledge about his client group. So while, I don't fit the ADHD bill anymore, I could still use the compassion he had towards how severely affected the lives of mental illness sufferer were. I found an acceptance of myself, through his compassion, so while my main major malfunction isn't ADHD, I found a way to stop hating myself.
