ADHD & Us: A Couple's Guide to Loving and Living With Adult ADHD

There’s a LOT of great info and examples of different types of add interaction and ones that you have with someone neurotypical. I am very pleased with the book.. I’m a weird reader.. I skin and highlight first with these groups and immediately, I felt seen lmao.. for real it sounds cheesy but I kinda did.. my partner is medicated for his adhd and he’s a guy so it does effect him differently.. my mom is super OCD with things and cannot understand where I come from. I think this is a great book for ANY people that have had to shared their lives with each other whilst being effected by add. It touches on organized chaos and communication, etc. Worth the buy!

It was very telling. I learned a lot about people with ADHD and how it affects neurodiverse relationships. Brought a new perspective of people that have ADHD. Worth reading.

The book is very easy to follow and conceptually makes sense. I really enjoyed the quick read that this is and I actually like making notes that are relative to my own relationship. The one downside is the quality of the book is a little cheap in my opinion. The pages curl on their own when its just sitting out. I wish it was slightly higher quality in material.

This book was an excellent read about what it's like being in a relationship where one partner has ADHD and the other person doesn't. I particularly like the layout of the book, where each chapter is focused on a common issue/conflict that occurs in these relationship. Each chapter then goes in the prospective from the ADHD person and then the neurotypical person, along with providing strategies on how each person can help the other out. This is a very excellent deviation from a lot of the other ADHD books I looked at as it's looking at all sides of the situation, and less of a negative "here's all the bad things about ADHD and how to fix them" which I see a lot of others focus on. But it really helped both my partner and I improve communication and our relationship overall.One, very minor aside, I'm not big on "games" to improve communication or relationships. Each chapter typically has one of these, like write ideas on a sticky note and pass them back and forth. Or play catch with a ball while each person states one thing positive about the relationship. If these work for you, there are a good number of these, if not, the concept behind the activity is good, I'm just not one for doing these types of activities.

This has been great for me and my partner; we are genuinely enjoying it. It allows us to see one another better. I recommend reading together, though I think it would be helpful regardless.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 13 but came from a heavily neurodivergent family, so it never occurred to me how it would affect my relationship, everyone I knew was like me! When I got married it was a different story, luckily my husband is a problem solver and this book was a fun and interesting insight into the best ways to make us work, but it’s a great guide for both neurodivergent and neurotypical partners to see how the other half is perceiving the relationship and how to navigate pitfalls.

This book was recommended by a friend who is neuro-spicy. It's been very helpful for me to read (a NT), giving perspectives from both the diverse and non neuro-diverse sides. There was things I was aware of, but reading the perspectives and having it laid out for me, made things click and fall into place. This is something that isn't just for couples; this will help with the other relationships with my friends and family members who have ADHD. I highly recommend this book!

Look, if there's even a chance a 10$ book can help a relationship, which you likely put thousands of dollars to tens of thousands into alongside years of effort, try it.That said, this isn't the best ADHD relationship book. It's a bit too lighthearted for what is likely a contentious and painful situation, and leans too fa
