[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how my husband works, or rather procrastinates. He has ADHD, and that is pretty typical behavior for inattentive types. He is also late, forgetful, not very productive (albeit highly intelligent and he's hired to troubleshoot). So, I suppose that's your girlfriend's personality. What other symptoms have you seen? [/quote] Honestly, that seems exactly like her. She is a great person but I worry that if we marry, I will fall into a parenting role. [/quote] Well, if it's ADHD, the good news is that medication works really well. However, keep in mind that the patient has to accept the fact he or she has the disorder, and agree to consult a psychiatrist for it. It took my husband 10 years. Also, morning disorganization never stops, since meds are taken then and kick in after 30 minutes. Anyway... keep in mind you also have to be prepared to love her and live with her without meds :-)[/quote]
