Today, I told my husband that I think he has ADHD. He was offended and began to argue, then he got distracted by a dog outside. FML

Unless he is hyperactive, that sounds more like ADD. Pretty much the same thing, minus the hyperactivity.

I understand where you are coming from, but he does have a right to be offended. Not that having ADHD is a bad thing. Plus, maybe he just wanted to not be frustrated and found peace watching a dog. They can be so cute!

Of course it's a bad thing. That's what makes it a disorder. My anxiety and pseudo-autism symptoms aren't a freaking picnic. But legitimate concern is not an insult.

I didn't mean it like it isn't a concern, my sister has ADHD so I know, but in way that he shouldn't be judged for having it (if he does).

I hope he calms down and considers it. I have ADHD too and it's never fun to be inattentive hyperactive and impulsive lol. hope things work out op

That would be ADD. ADHD means that you are also very hyper/energetic along with the other symptoms of ADD.

Do NOT put him on psych drugs. It's probably annoying that he has a short attention span but he will snap out of it eventually.

You don't just grow out of ADD. You learn to deal with it. And she can't put him on drugs cause he's an adult.
