Family members of adults with ADHD face the “AD/HD Roller Coaster” of chaos at home: disorganization and clutter, forgotten tasks and obligations, unpaid bills and maxed-out credit cards, neglected home repairs and lost jobs, hot tempers and erratic parenting styles, traffic accidents and citations, and more. Moreover, the very symptoms of their disorder (including poor working memory, difficulty linking cause with effect, and an impaired sense of empathy) mean that many adults fail to accurately perceive their role in the chaos, and so they place the blame everywhere else.For these reasons, it typically falls to the partners of these adults to connect the problematic behaviors to AD/HD symptoms. That’s why author and award-winning journalist Gina Pera targets this group in particular. Yet everyone involved with AD/HD will find the information in this book invaluable, especially people with AD/HD and couples therapists, who often mistake AD/HD for “communication problems” or “personality differences.” Meticulously researched and presented with empathy and humor, _Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?_ offers the latest information from top experts, who explain the science and proven protocols for reducing AD/HD’s most challenging symptoms. Real-life details come from the partners themselves, who share their stories with touching candor yet plenty of humor.
