0:00.0	Hey, ADHD, I need your help with something really important. I'm writing a book on how to have
0:05.7	healthy relationships as an adult with ADHD, and I want your voice in it. This is the book that I
0:12.6	wish had existed years ago, a resource for myself and all of us navigating friendships,
0:18.9	family dynamics, parenting, romance, and work relationships
0:22.0	with an ADHD brain. But here's the thing. There's barely any research on this topic,

0:33.4	relationships. So it's only one small piece of my book. So I partnered with a PhD organizational
0:40.0	psychologist and professor to create a real research survey. And I'm hoping that thousands of
0:47.1	ADHDers will take part. If you're willing to contribute, go to IHadHD.com slash research to take this 10-minute survey and let your voice be
0:57.3	heard. That's I have-a-D.com slash research. Now, the survey is anonymous. There's no judgment, no
1:05.3	spam. I'm not keeping your email. I won't even be able to see your email. It's just raw data

1:11.9	experience. You'll be helping to shape a book that's deeply needed by our community and your

1:25.0	this project truly. We'll begin analyzing the data soon. So go to
1:29.7	I haveedhedhd.com slash research to fill out the survey before it's too late. Thank you so much.
1:36.6	I so appreciate you. Again, it's I have a ADHD.com slash research. Now, let's get on with the show.
1:50.3	Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast, where it's all about education, encouragement,
1:56.6	and coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host, Kristen Carter, and I have ADHD. Let's chat about
2:04.2	the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving
2:09.3	with this neurodevelopmental disorder. I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your
2:15.7	potential, and move from point A to point B.
