This book was released on 2022-06-13T22:59:00Z with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most common question asked by group members is whether their partner has ADHD, and the answer is usually yes. But some become confused by the apparent differences in reported behaviors and even grow doubtful of the ADHD diagnosis. #2 The current official term for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is Attention Deficit Disorder. However, it was established before we understood the true nature of the condition, because it seemed as though a lack of attention and/or surplus of physical restlessness were the problems. #3 The big three traits of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention show up in everyday life. They are difficult to understand, so ask your partner if they exhibit any of these traits. #4 If you’re impulsive, you have trouble delaying gratification. You don’t always think before you act. And you often make important decisions too quickly, based on scanty information or a failure to consider consequences.
