Re: Anger due to the differences between severe and mild sufferers

I am 100% (man ive said this lots, about my dad, my uncle hahaha) anyways, that my husband too has it. His brother has it very very bad and is diagnosed with it, I see it in his mom, and it explains everything about James (hubby). He gets distracted by everything, has 1 million things on the go nothing finished, misses all the small details (which has cost him a few jobs..) horrible time management… etc etc. As a kid he was always made fun of and called stupid. He feels like a complete failure, all all his “short-comings” I swear are due to ADD. I too have ADD, and am somewhat in denial that 2 of us with it some how ended up together (I hope this means my kids are not doomed! hahaha). Anyways, I was thinking about the spectrum the other day… He seems waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than I am. Now is this because I have learned to cope and adapt better? I still have my problems (laundry one of them BURN IT ALL I SAY!!), anxiety in large crowds, distracted and late for things because of distraction… trailing off… Can you tell my meds have worn off? Oh goodness. I dont quite remember where I was going with this… I didnt read all the posts, way too long… But I thought it too was interesting. Adderall is expensive, I think if he needs meds too we can take turns taking the med for the day hahaha
