When the partners of adults with ADHD join a support group, they frequently use this analogy–because life with their undiagnosed or “in-denial” ADHD partners is sometimes thrilling but too many times it’s whiplash-inducing, from sudden, unexpected drops on the roller coaster of moods and impulses, distractions and forgotten promises."

Yip - I can see this coming as my diagnosis comes through in a few weeks.

But I'm playing along. This blog is just me thinking aloud about the whole deal." A great thinker - you'll be smarter after reading his posts.

- Jeff's A.D.D. Mind - If A.D.D. Is A Gift... Can I Return It For Something Else?
- A reader of his wrote "This is not an “A.D.D. Is a Gift” blog by any means. Jeff thinks having A.D.D. sucks, and writes highly analytic and thoughtful posts about how the condition complicates, colors, and otherwise confounds normal life in ways that usually go unnoticed. It’s not a reassuring read, but it’s a brave one, and I concur on a lot of the things he says about the A.D.D. life we both share."
