OK found the book. It’s lengthy for a forum but here goes…. “ADD & Romance – finding fulfillment in Love, Sex, & Relationships. Jonathon Halverstadt, MS.

Covered are 1)making poor partnering choices; 2) unrealistic ADD expectations 3) challenge of good communications 4) sexual intimacy and ADD, the erratic/erotic attention span; 5) positive attributes of Add in a romantic relationship 6) making your love last 7) help for the hurting 8) Sweetheart approach 9) Fifty ways to keep your lover.

Some you’ve heard before, some not. Parts seem good, if only I could a) remember them and the b) use them. Why don’t they write things on a 9″ nail that could be pounded into my forehead?

Here’re some cut/paste reviews from Amazon.ca – $13.99 there….

A.D.D. & Romance is a “Must Read” if you have Attention Deficit Disorder and you are involved in a romantic relationship!

This easy to read book is a “gold mine” of practical information that can be used by folks who have ADD as well as their partners to enrich their romantic relationship(s).

Jonathan Scott Halverstadt, M.S. is up to date on the latest research and theory related to attention deficit disorder. He speaks “from the heart” and I guarantee you this book is just “packed with information” that will help you to understand your own romantic behavior and will give you lots of tips and strategies to make the most of your romantic relationship(s).

I’ve read at least ten books on ADD and many of them were very helpful to me. However, A.D.D. & Romance by Jonathan Scott Halverstadt, M.S. is by far the best book I’ve read on the subject of ADD and romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars helpful in understanding how &why i function as i do, Nov 10 2002

By newly diagnosed college student (north carolina, usa) – See all my reviews

i found this book to be extremely helpful. everything i’ve read deals with what makes someone add and ways to deal with add (ie. meds and orginational skills). being that i was only 17 when i first read it, i did not apply it to any kind of romantic relationship but to realtionships with my parents and my friends. more importantly it made me very aware of some the bad, hurtful habits i have (like interupting) that i didn’t even relieze 1)that i was doing it and 2) that they might really be hurting people and my relationships with them.

By A Customer

While this book may contain some good information and practical advice, I could not get past the sloppily written introduction or langorous details of chapter 1. A good editor would have been a godsend for this topic.

What was the question again? :o/
