About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?: When I discovered that a family member has ADHD--and then learned how many therapists or docs had missed it--I got a wee bit incensed. It's the 21st Century. Time to get with the program!

One of my biggest challenges is support my ADD teenager in High School in a positive way, I guess the kid teaches me patience, or lack thereof?

Teenagers in general, I guess have this strange wired brain, put ADD on top of that, and life is interesting!

I address the issue with her a few times a month, but I do not want it to become a negative thing for her, wish I could learn some reverse pyscology on her, problem is, her goal now in College is to study psycology! No fooling her!

Your book is outstanding and you have my admiration and affection for your gift of it.

I know personally that having ADHD makes the communication of love so much more difficult to realise. This fosters a perfect breeding ground for blame, self defense, giving up and hurt feelings.

In relationship an undiagnosed ADHD sufferer doesn't have any choice - that is their world until they can exceed it.

That many non ADD partners choose to cohabit with their ADD spouse in this difficult world is an act of love. Love for something deeper, perhaps something they see in their partners.

Thank you for a book that helps each side see their situation in an impersonal perspective that offers the possibility of bringing love back to life for each of them, and possibly together.

Rory

Gina I am so pleased to find you here. I have been hoping you would join for a long while now. If ADHD support needed just one name to be identified. I would call it Gina!
