Communication with ADHD

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and married for 4.  I am a teacher and have been educated on the aspects of ADHD and have always felt that my husband exhibits all of the signs.  Anytime I try to talk to him he gets very angry and feels that I am only saying these things to hurt his feelings.  I am really worried about him, especially now that we have a 2 month old son.  Our marriage and relationship are greatly suffering because of his condition.  I am desprately seeking advice on how to approach this delicate topic with him so that we can get the help he greatly needs.

you need to just tell him that you think that he should have an ADHD test done just to see if he is or is not. You can even say to him go take that test and prove me wrong that way you will know one way or the other. It will help him out and you. that is only half the battle then it is getting to do the rest. I myself just found out that i have ADHD and am about to lose my marriage for this reason.
