ADHD or life? - A couples perspective!

About ADHD or life? - A couples perspective!

Adam has ADHD. Donna doesn’t. They’re married, they love each other, and they can experience the exact same day very differently. Is it ADHD or Life? – A Couple’s Perspective is full of honest conversations about the things that happen in real relationships: forgotten plans, misunderstandings, little wins, big feelings and the moments you can only laugh at afterwards. Join Adam and Donna as they share both sides of the story, swap listener tales and occasionally bring guests into the mix. It’s funny, open and sometimes a bit too relatable. But is it ADHD, or is it just life?

   ADHD and Sensory Issues: I Thought I Didn’t Have Any!

   Send us Fan Mail Can you have sensory issues without realising it? Adam used to think he didn’t have any.
