This is not just another book about ADHD, it is a guide for the people who love, support, and live alongside someone with ADHD.
If you are in a relationship with someone who has ADHD this book offers insight, empathy, and practical strategies to help you navigate the unique challenges and rewards of your partnership. Most books focus on the individual with ADHD, leaving partners feeling overlooked; this book places you right at the centre. It provides the understanding, reassurance, and tools needed to strengthen your connection, and care for yourself along the way.
Inside you will find:
. Ways to protect your own well-being and build resilience.
. Clear, simple explanations of how the ADHD brain works.
. Practical, compassionate strategies for better communication & teamwork.
Although written with romantic relationships in mind, these insights are equally valuable for parents, siblings, friends, flatmates, or colleagues.
This book gives you guidance, encouragement and hope, showing that ADHD relationships can thrive.
Jay Macleod is a personal coach who specialises in helping adults with ADHD. Being neurodivergent himself, he draws on both his personal and professional experiences to encourage and enable healthier, more fulfilling partnerships.
