Me and my partner
You had the same argument last night that you had in March. Different words, same shape. One of you felt unheard, the other felt attacked, and you both went to bed sure the other one wasn't trying. Most couples I work with aren't short on love. They're missing the manual for each other's brain. Once you can see the pattern, you can change what you do inside it. Below are a book, a podcast, and a channel for couples where one or both of you is neurodivergent. The first call is free, and your partner can be on it.

The workbook I start coaching with. You figure out what actually matters to you and what you're actually good at, so you can build your life around both instead of around who you think you should be. For adults with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD, diagnosed or wondering.

Book
You, Me, and Our ADHD Family
Tamara Rosier, PhD
Clear on why an ADHD brain runs on interest instead of importance, and the family book covers the whole house, not just the kid.
Tamara Rosier writes for the whole household where ADHD lives in one person or several: how emotions escalate, how conflict runs, and how repair happens after. It's practical, with the family system in view instead of one person's symptoms. It comes from a Christian imprint (Revell). For parents and couples who are tired of the same fight and want to understand what's actually driving it.
Podcast
Sorry, I Missed This (Understood.org)
Cate Osborn
ADHD and relationships from someone living it, with zero shame and a lot of humor.
Cate Osborn is a certified sex educator with ADHD, and her show is about what ADHD does inside a relationship: communication, intimacy, sex, and the arguments that repeat. She says the parts most ADHD content skips. She's a creator, not a clinician. For couples where one or both partners have ADHD, and single adults trying to work out why dating keeps going the same way.
YouTube channel
ADHD & Marriage
Melissa Orlov
Melissa Orlov wrote The ADHD Effect on Marriage, and this is her channel. She talks about the parent-child pattern that sets in when one partner ends up managing the other, and what a couple can do about it. She also runs a couples seminar and support groups, so the videos point somewhere. If you've had the same fight for years, start here.
