I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I stared reading this because I think my partner has undiagnosed ADD. I was hard though for my to read because the first two chapters or so I felt like Aterburn was writing about my partners life. It triggered me and I had to put it away for a while.
Fast forward to last week when I picked this back up again. I now have a better understanding of how my partners mind works. I liked how Aterburn gives alternatives to medication to help with ADD (like vitamins, healthy diet, exercise, and therapy/coaching). My partner refuses to take any medication so I think he would be more receptive to this.
This book is mostly short snippets of how others with ADD used it to makes their lives better. I was under the impression this book would be more geared towards the partner of the person with ADD as the title suggests. There were maybe two chapters, but I thought it would be a lot more. That’s why I have three stars instead of four.
That being said, I feel like I understand my partner better. I feel hopeful that we can find a solution that works for him if he doesn’t want medication. I feel much more confident that I can bring up his undiagnosed ADD in out therapy sessions. This is why I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I would certainly read another book by this author.
