Dirty Laundry: Why adults with ADHD are so ashamed and what we can do to help | Richard Pink, Roxanne Emery
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
'Made us giggle and helped us forge a much deeper connection with our friends and family with ADHD. A godsend!' - Davina McCall & Michael Douglas _____________________________________ If you have ADHD - or love somebody who does - DIRTY LAUNDRY will change your life, and your relationships. Do you feel crippling shame because you struggle with cleaning, personal hygiene, or time-keeping? Do you always feel misunderstood by the people close to you and find that they get frustrated by your behaviour? DIRTY LAUNDRY is an unfiltered look into the chaos of real life with ADHD. It will transform your self-hatred into self-acceptance, with simple tips that actually work for your brain. It will also help to educate partners, parents and friends, to help them move from frustration to patience, understanding - and love. Learn how to: - Stop believing you are fundamentally broken - Stop judging yourself by the standards of a neurotypical world - Communicate your struggles to those who love you - Support someone with ADHD in ways that work for them - Be compassionate rather than judgemental ...and much more. From the husband-and-wife team behind social media phenomenon @ADHD_Love, whose viral videos have been viewed more than 200 million times, comes a fearless, often outrageously funny, account of life, learning, and growing with ADHD. They share the strategies they have used to reduce shame, improve communication, and find happiness in their neurodivergent household. Filled with heartbreak and humour in equal measure, DIRTY LAUNDRY is an invaluable resource both for neurodivergents and the people who love them.

Had to drop doctor sleep for now. It was a little too heavy for me at this moment. I will pick it up later. This quick little book may help myself. 😊

I‘m sharing this one while I‘m only halfway through. I don‘t love the subtitle, but I do love their Instagram account and I wish I‘d had this book years ago (it‘s a pretty new release). It‘s “in the trenches” advice from a woman who has ADHD, her real world struggles, her partner‘s gentle insights, and their willingness to be so honest about it all while having a sense of humor.
