There are so many resources available, but I like the following video as it sums up ADHD conditions very well. Thomas E. Brown, Ph.D., is a Yale-trained clinical psychologist who specializes in assessment and treatment of ADHD and is considered to be one of the leading experts on the subject.

"ADD/ADHD | Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder"

Hi Ulstergirl,

If you are serius with that relation. Explain him the symptoms by giving examples and situations . If he understands you,he stops bugging you and goes hand in hand...

show him that you are trying to come out of the situation,by working day and night..

Give him a chance for few months /1 year.. Still if conditions are the same..then he is not mean for you.. I understand Love is blind...

But relations stand only with understanding and its should from 2 sides..

Iam also a girl, and I know how painful it is, to make them understand (on one side) and fighting with our ADHD on otherside...

Have him go to the doctor with you. He/ she can explain and answer his questions and concerns
