ADHD and marriage (Rachel and Jon’s story)

Jon Gardea has ADHD... and his wife Rachel doesn’t. She helped
him spot the signs, though, including his hobby graveyard. Once
Jon got diagnosed, it was clear that ADHD had been impacting
their marriage over the years. Having an explanation created a
positive mindset shift in their relationship, bringing them even
closer. 

Rachel hosts a YouTube channel called Post-Mormon Parenting. In
this episode, she and Jon also talk about how leaving the Mormon
church contributed to Jon’s ADHD discovery. Listen to this
heartfelt and honest discussion to get a behind-the-scenes look
at ADHD and marriage.
