Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Also known as ADHD) presents itself in three main symptoms: inattention and hyperactivity or impulsivity. Hyperactivity and impulsivity are closely related and oftentimes coexist with inattention. Women and girls with ADHD most often go undiagnosed for several reasons. This is due in part because women tend do have less obvious or less misbehaved characteristics than men do.

Validating and Entertaining
Finished in one sitting because it was too good. I knew I carried shame with me due to years of undiagnosed ADHD, but I never realised to what extent until reading. I feel I have a much better insight into my own struggles now, and even have some new vocabulary to help explain some of my lesser-understood behaviours. Highly recommend.

Loved this book!
This book really helped me look at my ADHD with more self compassion, understanding and humour.
Today I came home and realised I’d confused which day my rent inspection was.
My first reaction to seeing the little card saying they’d visited without me knowing, was utter shock and horror, I wanted to cry with the mortifying shame.
But I didn’t cry, all those negative emotions came up, but I actually ended up having a laugh at the situation…
I mean, my landlord finally saw my floordrobe today, and I could just imagine their confusion and unpreparedness to see such a thing! There’s nothing I can do right now about what has happened, but I can react with self understanding and forgiveness. It will be okay, I’ll just call my landlord tomorrow to explain what happened and reschedule it.
Dirty Laundry teaches you that things like this are going to happen and sometimes when it feels like the end of the world, you don’t have to bury yourself in shame. You can be kind and compassionate to yourself instead.
I highly recommend this book to those of us that have ADHD, and also those who have people in their lives with ADHD.

I absolutely loved this book! Very informative, humorous and eye opening. I hope this book brings light to many people, as it did me, what struggles our adhd friends and family are going through. I also found it explained a LOT for me in my own personal struggles.
Thank for the great listen Rich and Rox!

Courageous, Enlightening, Relieving, A Love Story
Oh Boy, do I relate with Rox!
I have always wondered why I have struggled with life.
Friends, school, work, relationships, money.
Having come across some funny TikTok a few months ago, I laughed as Rox explained the meaning of "Floor-drobe" & "Dopa-mining".
The definitions not only explained my life, but poked a very sore part in my soul like at a recent bruise against the counter top.
I have never been able to truly explain my situations to my GP or therapist before. Instead, I would verbalise the events (fights, arguments, issues, depression) and they would give lovely advice on what I could do "next time", never really getting to the core of WHY. This always left me feeling as though there was something wrong with me. "If this is consistently happening with so many people over my life time, It Has to be ME!"
Since then, I have watched all of their online content, which led to downloading this book on Audible.
Rox and Rich nailed it all!
I could immediately see why so many events, even in my childhood, made sense.
I have gone undiagnosed for 50 YEARS with some form of ADHD.
Now, I know what to do about it and much quicker at recognizing ADHD signs.
I'm also happy accepting those parts of me which are simply triggered by particular ADHD symptoms and make immediate changes without the horrible self talk which only perpetuated issues in the past.
Finally, the LOVE Story of Rox & Rich, Rich & Rox.
You both inspire me to understand with compassion, those who are neuro divergent (who were reflecting my "worst" traights) and those neuro typical (getting frustrated with my worst traights).
You're mutual love and understanding of each other and yourselves gives me great hope for the future.

Love in the time of ADHD
I don’t just mean romantic love, although it’s incredibly apparent in this book by the authors. But also just using love and understanding and patience with those who’s brain just doesn’t work like yours. I’ve also learnt my new favourite term “time optimism” which is definitely one of the things that frustrates my husband to no end as he can never understand my inability to be on time… ever, and I also hate being late!
If you have ADHD listen and if you have a loved one with ADHD also listen. It may help.

An absolutely must
This had me laughing and crying the whole way through. Total hyper fixation. So great for couples to both read. This is me & my hubby all over. I wasn't sure I'd connect as I have inattentive type of ADHD but it was still so totally awesome. Thanks for persisting, sticking at therapy, choosing to battle through the flat stages. Wonderful book and TikTok's! Recommend to everyone I know already!!
