For me this is a touchy subject, my estranged wife would have a lot to say about this including ” I feel like I have 2 kids”
Somtimes research can be a bad thing, she diagnosed my father with ADD because he left a cupboard door open. “It is hereditary, you probably got it from him.”
I was diagnosed several years after my son was, it took a lot of prodding for her to get me to go. We had a lot of problems by then and they haven’t really improved, in part because it’s taken me a long time to make progress on treatment and in part because she has her own issues which make it especially tough to put up with TWO ADD’ers in the house.
I guess the bottom line is that you both need support to get through, you need to support each other and you need to have external supports as well. Maybe you could try sending him a link to the introduction video and see if it clicks for him.
Good luck
