About this ebook

'Made us giggle and helped us forge a much deeper connection with our friends and family with ADHD. A godsend!' - Davina McCall & Michael Douglas
_____________________________________
If you have ADHD - or love somebody who does - DIRTY LAUNDRY will change your life, and your relationships.

Do you feel crippling shame because you struggle with cleaning, personal hygiene, or time-keeping? Do you always feel misunderstood by the people close to you and find that they get frustrated by your behaviour?

DIRTY LAUNDRY is an unfiltered look into the chaos of real life with ADHD. It will transform your self-hatred into self-acceptance, with simple tips that actually work for your brain. It will also help to educate partners, parents and friends, to help them move from frustration to patience, understanding - and love.

Learn how to:
- Stop believing you are fundamentally broken
- Stop judging yourself by the standards of a neurotypical world
- Communicate your struggles to those who love you
- Support someone with ADHD in ways that work for them
- Be compassionate rather than judgemental ...and much more.

From the husband-and-wife team behind social media phenomenon @ADHD_Love, whose viral videos have been viewed more than 200 million times, comes a fearless, often outrageously funny, account of life, learning, and growing with ADHD. They share the strategies they have used to reduce shame, improve communication, and find happiness in their neurodivergent household.

Filled with heartbreak and humour in equal measure, DIRTY LAUNDRY is an invaluable resource both for neurodivergents and the people who love them.

First few sentences were enough to turn me off. Very surprised with what utter BS people can earn money with nowadays. 👍

OMG.. This book is phenomenal; it spoke to me. At the tender age of 38, I have finally been diagnosed with autism and ADHD... I relate to about 75% of the issues discussed in this book, and every individual experiences things differently... I recommend everyone to read this book.... Thank you Rox and Rich for a well written book, and please keep up with the campaign to raise awareness.

Read the whole thing in one sitting. best purchase I have ever made, also first book I actually finished reading in years. As an ADHDer myself, diagnosed in late 20's, I feel like Rich and Rox really spoke to me directly, and I am forever grateful, touched, and I feel seen, heard, and valid. would recommend this to everyone who is struggling, or knows someone who is struggling with ADHD.
