We all want healthy, functional, and loving relationships. Transform your relationships by beginning to understand the role ADHD plays in them. Once you can identify how the symptoms influence your interactions, you can then learn better ways of responding instead of reacting. For the individual with ADHD, this means learning how to manage your symptoms. For the non-ADHD individual, this means learning how to respond to frustrations in ways that encourage and motivate your partner.

Changes made:

  • “Starting to understand” changed to “beginning to understand” for smoother flow.
  • “Responding and not reacting” changed to “responding instead of reacting” for parallel structure.
  • Clarified the roles of both individuals in the relationship.
