S2 E2 - ADHD and relationships: being fair to my partner.
from Glitchy Switch: What ADHD feels like to an adult. · host Martin Gale
In today's episode we're going to be talking a bit about how we can be considerate of our spouse or partner upon diagnosis of ADHD, because it's very easy to get caught up in your own experience without thinking of what it's like for the person you spend your life with to digest. In this episode: Being mindful of becoming an "ADHD bore." Understanding that your partner has spent many years forming their own "muscle memory" about your behaviours. Why your diagnosis is a team sport, and how you can see it as a way of working together. Why you should avoid seeing diagnosis as a "free pass" to carry on regardless. Why your ADHD doesn't define you.
