It will now publish as a Square Peg trade paperback original, e-book and audiobook in March and will be followed by a second book in spring 2024. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Not all of the chapters are going to be relevant to everyone – and definitely aren’t for us as a family – but lots of them are.
Their down-to-earth and often hilarious videos showcase the rather messy reality of living with ADHD. I personally think the ‘everyone’s a bit autistic’ type of language diminishes the issues people living with actual neurodiversity face. I also think the book could have used more diversity as it’s more of a memoir of them overcoming the challenges in their own relationship that were caused by ADHD. The standard treatment for ADHD is medication in the form of stimulants -- it doesn't work for everyone, but there is no mention of that at all here, so we don't know if she's medicated or not. There are some nice tidbits of advice, and the story is well-performed, but overall this was not worth the time for the limited guidance offered.Pay attention to times when you’re rushing or overwhelmed – this is when you’re most likely to be forgetting something.
Brakowało mi podkreślenia tego, jak ważna może być profesjonalna pomoc i z jakiegoś powodu nie było ANI SŁOWA o lekach. Don’t get me wrong, the first type of books are also fantastic and super helpful, hell I own a few of those myself and am a big proponent of therapy.
It just gives you another thing to forget to do, increasing the blame and frustration when you fail. The truth is, a lot of us ADHDers struggle with 'basic' things such as personal hygiene and cleanliness (amongst other things), but this is the first time I've ever seen anyone go into real depth and talk about not only those struggles, but WHY we have them, as well as what we can do to help! This fearless, often outrageously funny, account of life, learning, and growing with ADHD reveals the strategies Rich and Rox use to reduce shame, improve communication, and find happiness in their neurodivergent household. Może jestem po prostu wrażliwszą osobą ale nie ważne jak blisko bym była z daną osobą żarty tu przytoczone w kontekście niektórych zachowań by mnie raniły. This book has really helped me express to other people in my life how I feel and understand it myself.
but that this is so utterly commonplace nowadays that it's genuinely appalling that there isn't more medical help for this condition or more attention given to the science behind WHY this is considered a disability. This book is so simple in the way it's been broken down - I like that it has the ADHD side and the ADHD-support side of each topic. Given the majority of the books advice is 'be heavily reliant on someone neurotypical for everything' its not really a surprise. However, as a prescription for other people makes me cringe and worry about the long-term feasibility. Filled with heartbreak and humour in equal measure, DIRTY LAUNDRY is an invaluable resource both for neurodivergents and the people who love them.I relate to some, but not all, of whats said, but all of it makes me go YES - EXACTLY or gives me flashbacks to my childhood and having my ADHD misunderstood because non of us knew I had it. Firstly, it’s actually a self-help book for ADHDers which is really helpful to hear the stories she tells. Truly helpful for both those who have ADHD, and for those who want to better understand their neurodivergent loved one. It was the same information repeated - but each had perspective A: adhd author, and then the same stuff again from perspective B: neurotypical author.
The whole thing just came across as weirdly trivialising, and made me feel like it's the neurotypical partners responsibility to understand and accommodate for their partners disability, because the ADHD partner can't HELP IT, their brain isn't wrong it's just DIFFERENT. I discovered this couple's ADHD humor/informational video bits when I was as at a particularly vulnerable point of my own ADHD journey and they gave me life and made me feel seen. Filled with heartbreak and humour in equal measure, Dirty Laundry is an invaluable resource both for neurodivergents and the people who love them.It’s really opened my eyes to parts of my life that I thought where just me being useless but apparently I’m not, it’s part of my adhd. While I just finished reading this on my own, it’s a book we plan to read as a family to understand ourselves and each other better. From the viral TikTok duo, atADHD_Love comes a tried-and-tested, no-guilt and no-shame guide to self-love and navigating relationships with ADHDIf you have ADHD - or love somebody who does - DIRTY LAUNDRY will change your life, and your relationships. I get to share the light-hearted moments now, only because I somehow made it through the really dark ones. ADHD can be very isolating so there is great comfort to be taken from realising that we are not alone.
Great Deal
