My own husband's late-diagnosis ADHD led me to start this group and eventually to write a book so others would not have to go through the painful learning curve that my husband and I experienced.
It is solely for the partners of adults with ADHD, and there is an application process. You can learn more here:

Do you feel like you are easily distracted?
Do you have difficulty completing tasks?
Do you feel like your mind is racing? Or are your thoughts too slow and disjointed?
These are all common complaints of people with attention problems. However, many people with these problems do not have attention-deficit disorder. My goal is to help people accurately diagnose what they experience as an attention problem, to find out what is causing the problem, and to help find the most effective treatments for this problem.
