Welcome

I was recently told by my therapist that I have many indicators of ADHD. In fact, according to her "ADHD people are attracted to and usually marry others with ADHD". I had never heard either of those things before. I wonder how that is possible while also having many examples at my disposal. Wouldn't we drive each other nuts with our tendencies? Then add in a few kids with the SAME tendencies and there you go.

I know people with ADHD are more than likely to produce children with ADHD. That is an attraction I was aware of, but this seems like a bit much. I decided to do a google search and see what I learned. The only thing I found that addressed this was a Reddit post. Now I do not know much about Reddit. I have an account I don't know how to use, but that is the extent of it. There were only a few comments on this post, but they all said in one way or another that the people in their inner circle also have some form of ADHD.
As I mentioned before I was never told I had ADHD before. Sure, there were indicators, but my whole childhood was devoted to treating the symptoms of my Brother's ADHD so no one paid attention to me. I TOTALLY understand why. He was a monster compared to me. I was the good kid. He took all the heat and I will always love him for that. Now that I am an adult I see things that make me think, huh. What is even more interesting to me is my spouse was recently diagnosed with ADHD.
This is 2 people who had very little idea that they have ADHD and we seemed to find each other. The only missing piece of the puzzle is.....he drives me nuts. His ADHD tendencies do not mix with my ADHD tendencies. I tend to be way more fast paced and hyper. The only hyper he gets is hyper focused on something inconsequential he discovers RIGHT as we are walking out the door to a plan I spent many hours planning and obsessing over. We make it work but man was it hard not getting a diagnosis before now!
