Hi and welcome!
First, let me say that it is terrific of you to want to understand and help your girlfriend!
When you are around her, well...just be yourself! Let her know that you care and that you're learning as much as you can about ADHD so that you can be supportive of her needs, just like she should be supportive of yours.
There is much here at ADHD Central that will help you to understand ADHD. There is a whole section HERE that will get you started...and then more!
If you have any specific questions, please come back and post them here; we'd love to help.
Warm regards,
Terry
