Adults with ADD must daily face a world not designed for them - a world where their unique gifts and traits often don't quite fit in. This can make things difficult at work, among friends, and especially in relationships. One big step the ADD adult can take to help their close relationships succeed is to set expectations with new partners and friends up front, by sharing their experience and explaining how the world looks through their eyes. By making clear the different ways they express themselves, and being candid about their struggles, they can help the new person in their lives know what to expect and react with greater understanding in the moment.This easy-to-read communications guidebook frames 40 aspects of the ADD adult's life in easy-to-understand terms, as well as providing a collection of effective metaphors ("Having ADD feels like my brain is a browser with way too many open tabs!") to help explain to someone new what to look forward to in the new relationship.
