@eris, I am so sorry to hear your husband isn’t more supportive. But give it time. He may come around.
When I was first diagnosed ADD was still not really accepted as a real disorder. And my family and friends told me it was an excuse for being lazy. And I have heard that ” everybody has ADD now” and it’s “the in thing”.
And they’re not entirely wrong. ADD does tend to get over diagnosed. A lot of doctors don’t really take the time to look at all the possibilities before settling on ADD. But those of us who have it know best. Only we know what goes on inside our heads. I know I’m lazy, but I am not “just lazy”.
