Hi, does anybody here have experience with adult ADD/ADHD? I ask because my therapist brought it up with me and I agree having done some research that it is possible my fiance may have it. This could be what is getting in the way of him having as much success at work as I know he is capable of. He is so talented and creative and just is not reaching his potential. Also many other reasons too.
So my question is ... if anybody here has it or knows somebody with it ... how do I bring it up with him as being somewhere in the realm of possibility? My therapist suggested bringing him to a therapy session with me but so far with his traveling for work it has been really hard to figure out a time.
But doing more and more research it is clear that this is a big factor in our relationship and could really help us in the future if we changed some things (myself included, how I react to him and perceive things).
Another problem with me bringing it up is that i am in school to be a therapist and he gets quite defensive if he thinks it is coming from me, like I am trying to be a therapist with him - which I am not. I just honestly am optimistic like this could be the answer to a lot of things that we've been running into over and over again.
Anyway anybody have any insight or advice?
