Synopsis

Communicating and thriving in a neurodiverse relationship is possible. ADHD & Us gives couples the tools and strategies they need to connect as well as overcome the unique challenges they face on the road to long-term happiness and satisfaction.

Drawing from Anita Robertson's years of practice counseling couples with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), this honest and straightforward guide helps couples better understand adult ADHD and how it affects relationships, while also providing the tools necessary for both partners to feel understood and respected. Learn how to avoid common conflicts, appreciate your differences, and meet each partner's needs. Together, you can make it happen.

This relationship guide for people with adult ADHD includes: the five pillars of success (learn about the five relationship pillars—praise, acknowledgement, games, growth mindset, and positive acceptance—and how they are essential in a successful relationship); a practical approach to adult ADHD (build communication skills and deepen your connection using engaging exercises that allow both partners to share in safe and constructive ways); and modern and inclusive guidance. With expert advice based on the most–up–to–date understandings of adult ADHD, this book is designed for use in all kinds of relationships.

Goodreads review by Shannon on January 25, 2021

A realistic view of what life is like for a neurodiverse couple. It’s not sugarcoated, but definitely yields an optimist outlook. I think the author’s five pillars of a healthy relationship can be a benefit to all couples, but just those with neurodiversity.......more
