"ADHD doesn't just affect individuals. It affects entire families. Impulsiveness, emotional turbulence, poor organizational skills, unpredictable schedules, and inconsistent discipline are just some of the factors that can contribute to misunderstanding and difficult interpersonal relationships in a neurodiverse family. But that doesn't mean families dealing with ADHD are doomed to constant miscommunication and stress. It just means you may need a different strategy.
That's where You, Me, and Our ADHD Family comes in. Packed with honest assessments of the challenges you face and practical strategies to help you focus on protecting and improving the relationships that matter most, this book shows you how to identify ADHD traits and their impact on relationships; manage overwhelming emotions effectively; resolve disagreements constructively; persevere despite setbacks; and much more.
A happy family life takes work, but it's work that yields life-changing rewards. You, Me, and Our ADHD Family makes that work easier so your family can grow stronger—together."
"If you have ADHD, your brain doesn't work in the same way as a 'normal' or neurotypical brain does because it's wired differently. You and others may see this difference in circuitry as somehow wrong or incomplete. It isn't. It does present you with significant challenges like time management, organization skills, forgetfulness, trouble completing tasks, mood swings, and relationship problems.
In Your Brain's Not Broken, Dr. Tamara Rosier explains how ADHD affects every aspect of your life. You'll finally understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. Dr. Rosier applies her years of coaching others to offer you the critical practical tools that can dramatically improve your life and relationships.
Anyone with ADHD—as well as anyone who lives with or loves someone with ADHD—will find here a compassionate, encouraging guide to living well and with hope."
