My SO and I have been together for around 15 years. We’ve had our ups and downs, like everyone else, but I think we’re in a really strong place for the last year or so. I’ve had to face up to my imperfections and work to change them. But some of our problems were caused by my now diagnosed ADHD. (Medium severity inattentive type)

And she just rolled with it, she has accommodated my newly discovered needs like it’s nothing. She is compassionate and understanding of my preference to write down timelines so I can see the whole picture. She is happy to take housework off my plate that I’m simply not built to do well.

Holy fuck I love this woman.

About 10 years ago I had the flu and I was so so sick I felt like i could barely get out of bed. While I stood in the shower and leaned against the wall, he washed my hair. I'm pretty lucky and even though we fight like crazy, sometimes, I'm thankful for him every day.

A friend of a friend's husband was adult diagnosed and wrote a book. Would you be interested in a link?

This friend of a friend hardly competed in the Amazing Race?

Because, if so, I already got it!
