Good book for any adhd couple

Really helpful advice for couples struggling with adhd. Book was geared towards one partner with adhd and did not offer a lot of advice for if both partners have ADHD

Very insightful

This was an Excellent listen with very helpful suggestions. They really nailed the dynamic of many neurodivergent marriages.

Great introduction for couples

This was my first book covering ADHD couples. It was easy to follow along and gave great information

Terrific book wonderful read

Thank you to the author for being so helpful. I was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago however, my mother had me diagnosed at two years old and I was never told until I started to experience being very different so thank you for this book. Thank you for reminding me that my brain isn’t broken. I’m just different in the many cases pleasantly unique. Take care and have a beautiful life. Read you again soon.

Fantastic book

Every couple that has one partner with ADHD should read this book together. Life changing!

Painful to listen to

Though this book does not give any bad advice, most of the practical suggestions felt too juvenile for me to have any desire to engage in. I enjoy silly activities, but not lame ones. The bigger problem was the reader, who rarely seemed to understand when she had come upon the end of a sentence. Her inflection was so strange that it made the text more challenging for me to comprehend and became grating on my ears.

Meh

Examples were not helpful. Not as practical as I ha;d hoped with advice. The example stories did not feel relatable to my situation. Reading voice is robotic or artificial and annoying

Everything

Excellent described me to the T every chapter made me more and more aware of my ADHD

The neurodiverse side

I had not contemplated the problems I was creating in my partner this helped me to have a better understanding & empathy 

Author doesn't have first hand experience with ADHD

I was offended more than once by the author's portrayal of the ADHD person.
