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.

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
