[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be rude but what are the benefits of dating someone with ADHD?

There is this thread on here where people have it, but they wouldn't want to be married to someone with it. Doesn't that mean that people who don't have it should run like hell if they don't want to be burdened?

Then there is another thread where someone is trying to learn how to love or tolerate their ADHD spouse or something.

Isn't this a warning sign of something to consider when dating?

But some people don't know they have it until later so should people screen their potential marriage partners for ADHD?

These are serious questions.

Op,

No one is perfect and every human has flaws.  If you are a cut and dry personality who is an accountant ( or some type of engineer) that the disorder might drive you crazy.  However, the upside if you appreciate it is the fun and creative spirit that most ADHD people have.

To me marrying someone who has nothing to say ( my SIL is one of those people) than that would drive me crazy.  And no it isn't because she doesn't like me because we do get along.  She could come back from Paris and have nothing to say.  "It' was fun"  Is her house orderly and very clean?  Absolutely!  But, there isn't much creativity or chat.

And yes, we all have ADHD ( inattentive). We didn't discover it until later because no one knew/talked about it when we were young.  And then we only heard about the hyperactive version so we didn't think it applied to "dreamers" but then we had kids who have it.  If you know the symptoms than you don't have to screen your partner because you will already know.[/quote]
