[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a newly diagnosed woman at 47yo. I suspected it for many years -- probably 15 years. Looking back to when I was choosing a spouse, I was way too forgiving of my boyfriend's executive disfunction and other issues because I could relate. HOWEVER I had developed coping mechanisms many years ago while my would-be husband hadn't. So while my bills are on automatic bill pay and I have a million reminders and alarms set on my phone and computer, he just .... doesn't have any of it. He forgets his own medical appointments, loses and forgets stuff all the time, etc. So many of his issues became more apparent once the stress of parenting and middle age started. It's like I married someone with ADHD because I had ADHD and thus was sympathetic, not wanting to judge. But he's not self aware enough to have ever dealt with it.[/quote] Good luck with that one.
