This, I have decided, is my new title.
It is also the literal German translation of the title of a book written by an American woman dedicated to bringing attention to the 'hidden epidemic' of adult women with ADHD.
(The book title in English is "Women With Attention Deficit Disorder".
Yes, according to the Economist that literally translates to "Princess of Chaos" in German.
And "Women Who Can't Put Things In Order" in Japanese.
As always, the German speakers are totally in tune with issues of the psyche.)
Just so you know: I don't know this because I bought the book, I know this because I had a chance to read The Economist over Christmas break (begin intellectual props comments, please), and they had an article about this book/movement under the catchy title "Really Desperate Housewives".
I just love the 'Princess of Chaos' thing.
But I cling depserately to the hope that once my children are grown, I will be able to complete a 4- or 5- sentence conversation about a single topic. No Ritalin required.
