How do you make a relationship work between two very different people, one who is rather neurodiverse and one who is mostly neurotypical? It can be tricky and it can be fun. How does mindfulness improve the whole situation and turn a disability into a wonderful experience? When is a disability an advantage and when is it a burden? SO many questions?
David and Sylvia, a happily married couple nearly into their third decade share their secrets to a contented and rewarding relationship in spite of the difficulties along the way.
This book challenges the medical model of ADHD and other forms of ND and shows how it is society which is the disabling factor in people with slightly different brains.
