You are both a credit to the ADHD community and through this book have provided me with hope when looking into the future! This is a short book written from the perspective of a couple in which one has ADHD, and they focus on what it was like before and after the diagnosis and give advice without any references, which I really dislike when you have tips/suggestion sections but nothing but personal experience to back it up. Richard Pink and his wife Roxanne Emery are often stopped in the street by fans of their social media accounts.

Also I’d never before considered the pretty basic fact that your beloved ADHDer is not trying to deliberately wind you up by their behaviours such as losing things or being late – it’s just that their brain is wired differently. Duża część problemów, które zostały tu przedstawione to rzeczy na które nie ma żadnej rady poza: potrzebujesz specjalisty. However, an issue I have is that she got sober towards the end of 2018, got diagnosed with ADHD soon after, and then had over a year of celibacy to work on her love addiction / relationship issues. It will transform your self-hatred into self-acceptance, with simple tips that actually work for your brain.

I would recommend this book for anyone with ADHD, with partner with ADHD but even friends/families and managers of people that just think differently (possibly undiagnosed ADHD). Be proud of being different and the contribution your alternative wiring brings to the mix, as Willie Wonka said, "we are the music makers, and the dreamers of dreams. It’s written in a chatty style about Rox’s personal lived experience of different issues over the years, how she best deals with them now she’s got the support of Rich – and how you can help yourself or the ADHDer that you love.

Dirty Laundry: Why adults with ADHD are so ashamed and what we can do to help was first published by the authors on 19th January. Tatepo said: “As soon as I came across Rox and Rich’s hilarious demystifying videos and saw how lovingly they navigate the behavioural differences within their neurodivergent–neurotypical relationship, I knew we had to work together.This book is fantastic at highlighting some common ADHD behaviours, constantly reminding you of the shame said behaviours will create, and how as their partner you can reframe your way of thinking. Nawet gdy sama autorka nie doświadcza konkretnych sytuacji, mogło by tu zostać opisane dla bardziej szerokiej perspektywy. The same shame I had felt for my entire life, until I received an ADHD diagnosis at age 36 and, soon afterward, became part of an incredible internet community of people just like me. Use it to your full potential by being proactive and put systems in place to work to your strengths. I just wrote and then deleted a massive list of the things I am going to try and be more compassionate about – but you don’t really need to know that!

It will also help to educate partners, parents and friends, to help them move from frustration to patience, understanding—and love. Your support of Rox as she navigates this brain maze, and desire to teach other neurotypicals, is a blessing.This is mostly a story about how a husband found forgiveness for his wife because they were able to find a name, ADHD, for her struggles. I'm now experiencing what I had only read about and never related to - before my diagnosis I had the highly functioning kind - thriving in school, breezing thru my PhD studies, loads of energy, juggling 5 major tasks at once, Acing tests, all that.
