This book has really helped me express to other people in my life how I feel and understand it myself. I never thought about the possibility that maybe the meds only “fix” a portion of my symptoms and not ALL of them and that I may not actually be a sh*t human!
We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. To fully immerse yourself in the profound insights, heartfelt stories, and practical strategies presented by Richard Pink and Roxanne Emery, we encourage you to embrace the complete journey by obtaining the full version of "Dirty Laundry.She might have even shown you the functional clay model she had made, or shared her history books, or shown you some presentations, or given countless other obscure facts – all about ancient Egypt. There is ONE chapter in the book where Rich says being with Rox taught him to sometimes enjoy spending money and indulge in little things. Then I remembered, oh yes, that's because I smashed a pane of window in the door when I locked myself out, or asked a work colleague or neighbour to help me break in. It was the same information repeated - but each had perspective A: adhd author, and then the same stuff again from perspective B: neurotypical author.
This summary provides a condensed overview of the original work by Richard Pink and Roxanne Emery, aiming to give readers a glimpse into the thought-provoking content in a concise format. If your or your partner’s ADHD is more at the level of annoying rather than disabling, and you just want some comic relief alongside guidance to help you navigate everyday life, this book might feel too heavy.With empathy and insight, they address the prevailing shame surrounding this neurodevelopmental condition and unveil the underlying factors contributing to this sense of inadequacy.
still leaving trails of creative things left undone everywhere, hyperfocusing to the point I dont hear people talk to me when I'm plugged in, super-empathy. Of course, my ADHD wife knew exactly why this young woman, and all the rest of the people we met, were crying. A book full of different couple’s Split View with coping mechanisms laid out could have been interesting, but again, the SAME example used by both persons just gets boring. I also know that ‘A’ has found it super helpful for herself as both an ADHDer – but also for supporting the other ADHDers in her life. To me, the solutions and hacks she offers for coping are OK, but they won't work well on their own -- if your life is truly that unmanageable, and you're really that powerless over your ADHD, then a few tips and tricks will only serve to make you feel a bit better in the short term -- and if you are single, you won't have anyone to pick up the pieces for you afterwards.
I sense that Emery herself, is still on her own journey towards getting more agency with this--she freely admits she has been really reliant on her partner, especially in her earliest days with the diagnosis. Again, I get what the book tried to do and I appreciate it, but my own personal experience and my views on this subject made me disagree too much to enjoy it or feel like recommending it to anyone.
ADHD can be very isolating so there is great comfort to be taken from realising that we are not alone. This is mostly a story about how a husband found forgiveness for his wife because they were able to find a name, ADHD, for her struggles. Filled with heartbreak and humour in equal measure, Dirty Laundry is an invaluable resource both for neurodivergents and the people who love them. I hope it all works out for her -- but, in my experience, I suspect she's got a lot more work ahead of her.In this cupboard are the forgotten, often expensive, relics of the many impulsive financial decisions that Rox has made. Nie jesteś gorszx, bo masz ADHD, ale może Ci być cholernie trudno i samoakceptacja zdecydowanie nie naprawi tego, że żyjesz w społeczeństwie, które cię nie rozumie.
