What should I know about taking ADHD medication for myself or my partner?
There are quite a few individuals who have recently been evaluated, or will be evaluated for ADHD showing up on the forum these days, and others whose partners/spouses show signs of ADHD.

Some Ways We Differ –ADHDer vs. non-ADHDer
ADHD, like so many things that people go through, exists on a continuum from more intense to less intense, and in addition, there are different types.

No two individuals with ADHD show up the same way.

I am continually impressed with the enormous amount of support that is so generously shared on this website. The amount of care and concern that posters have for each other is just tremendous. And it’s great to see that it comes from both the ADHD/non-ADHD sides of the story. Each in her/his way, sharing perspectives that are so valuable to be heard.
