Synopsis

An empowering and witty guide to banishing shame and living your fullest life with ADHD—plus tips for loved ones on helping them navigate this world, too—from viral duo ADHD_Love.
 
What if you stopped feeling ashamed of constantly being late or of getting so hyperfocused on a task that you drop everything else you had to do? How can you as a partner, parent, or friend better understand your neurodivergent loved one’s way of moving through the world?
 
In Dirty Laundry, life partners Rich Pink and Rox Emery unapologetically guide you through the ups and downs of life with ADHD. Every chapter starts with a common symptom of ADHD, like impulsivity or struggles with finances, and an earnest moment from their own lives to show you how they navigate the symptom together. Rox reminds you to be kind to yourself and love yourself for who you are; Rich offers tips on how he uses compassion and honesty instead of jumping to conclusions. Whether it's helping your ADHDer with friendly time-checks before an appointment or reminding yourself to take breaks during hours spent hyperfocusing on a new project, Rox and Rich give you the tools to destigmatize and normalize life with ADHD.

Goodreads review by Nick on July 22, 2023

I really disliked the extreme blaming of every negative trait on ADHD. While I could not care less about the authors their lives and whatever works for them is fine by me, but the way this book portrays ADHD is simply not true. You can overcome challenges, ADHD makes certain tasks more difficult, no......more

Goodreads review by not my high on July 29, 2023

Bardzo, bardzo fajna książka. Zdecydowanie zachęciła mnie do dalszego, bardziej wnikliwego, edukowania się o ADHD. Jest mocno powtarzalna - pod koniec znałam wszystkie porady na pamięć. Fakt, że neurotypowa osoba bez wykształcenia psychologicznego ma tak dużo do powiedzenia o neuroróżnorodności... ni......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on February 25, 2023

I found much of this relatable. I saw someone else saying it lacked substance and was just their perspective, not supported by research. I knew that going in. That's not what I wanted. I can find the research if I want to. I needed to hear a human, life lived perspective, and that's what I got. It's......more
