Is there a place I can get helpful information for my spouse and family members. My husband understands that I have ADHD, but doesn't understand the disease itself. He cannot understand why it is so hard for me to finish simple tasks (like making a pot of coffee start to finish or doing the dishes) and thinks I'm just being lazy.
I think it would help if there was some easy to read information I could offer him.
Thank you.
Hi SJL:
There are a few places that I would recommend, and would start you out with checking out the website and contacting CHADD for local meetings. I would also suggest Internet information on websites such as ADHD Support, and the Mayo Clinic.
Be careful about going to just any blogs, since you cannot be sure of the reliability of the information.
Best of luck,
Dr. Diana Walcutt
