    About this audiobook

    The science has been clear since 1994, when Adult ADHD was declared a medical diagnosis. Still, the public harbors misconceptions. That means millions suffer needlessly. Moreover, that includes millions of couples who can't understand why their marriages or intimate relationships are so hard-sometimes despite many attempts at couple therapy.

    Everyone knows someone with adult ADHD. Yet we misattribute the symptoms to anxiety, depression, or even laziness, selfishness, or moodiness. Moreover, we assume ADHD means "little boys with ants in their pants." In fact, childhood hyperactivity goes "underground" as the person matures, resulting in a mentally restless state. Adult ADHD can affect every aspect of life, including education, employment, money-management, driving, sex, and health.

    Meticulously researched by Gina Pera, Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.? is a comprehensive guide to recognizing the behaviors where you least expect them and developing compassion for couples wrestling with unrecognized ADHD-related challenges. It also offers the latest information from top experts, plenty of real-life details, and easy-to-understand guidelines for finding the best treatment options and practical solutions. The revolutionary message is one of hope for millions of people-and a joyous opportunity for a better life.

      Made it to chapter 4, but the patronizing tone turned me off. Spent 2 days in a funk - then read the other review for this book and realized I was just buying into this author's view of someone with ADHD. Dang! I really do not need that in my life! I'm trying the other book...ADD- friendly ways to get organized. Already see how it is respectful.

      This is missing about an hr of audio, probably why chapters end mid-sentence
    • 2/5
      There's something really off about the author's tone. Mean. It was making me feel pretty bad so I'm going to stop with 11 more hours to go. Nope!
    • 5/5
      I loved it and helped my marriage 100%. Thank you
    • 1/5
      The chapters end mid word. I don’t know how to report it, but it is incredibly jarring.
    • 1/5
      As an adult with ADD, I found this book extremely negative and hurtful. The attitude was "Oh you poor person married to a person with ADD -- you made an unfortunate choice, and they suck, and that is that." News flash: this is NOT helpful. Instead, try ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life, and maybe some therapy. And chocolate and caffeine.
