About this listen

An empowering and witty guide to banishing shame and living your fullest life with ADHD—plus tips for loved ones on helping them navigate this world, too—from viral duo ADHD_Love.

What if you stopped feeling ashamed of constantly being late or of getting so hyperfocused on a task that you drop everything else you had to do? How can you as a partner, parent, or friend better understand your neurodivergent loved one’s way of moving through the world?

In Dirty Laundry, life partners Rich Pink and Rox Emery unapologetically guide you through the ups and downs of life with ADHD. Every chapter starts with a common symptom of ADHD, like impulsivity or struggles with finances, and an earnest moment from their own lives to show you how they navigate the symptom together. Rox reminds you to be kind to yourself and love yourself for who you are; Rich offers tips on how he uses compassion and honesty instead of jumping to conclusions. Whether it's helping your ADHDer with friendly time-checks before an appointment or reminding yourself to take breaks during hours spent hyperfocusing on a new project, Rox and Rich give you the tools to destigmatize and normalize life with ADHD.

How much I relate to this.

I am so happy to have come across this amazing couple on Facebook and then download their book. I am sad that I have finished listening to the book. I was really enjoying listening to them both. How open they both are about their lives and how much I can relate to them. I hope they continue to write and post on social media.

Balanced and well written

Structurally, I think this book absolutely nails it. It combines specific examples, analysis, and productive approaches to some of the seemingly inexplicable and tormenting aspects of living with ADHD from a neurodivergent and neurotypical perspective.

The material presented here creates so much space for discussion and exploration, which has been a great foundation for me to examine many of my own experiences. And yet, the chapters feel focused and whole, imparting a sort of grounded optimism to a condition that can be extremely disruptive to live with. It’s almost as if one of the authors is expert in composing complex journeys that achieve unifying and satisfying resolutions 🤔

And I’m so pleased that they read this themselves. It’s a great personal touch, especially given the extremely personal nature of the content.

Thank you!

Thank you for normalizing adhd. especially in women.
My partner and I laughed as we listened, relating to so many things. I exclaimed many times "see, it's not just me"?!

I love how you get both the adhd perspective and a NT point of view. So many resources are from a NT perspective, and feel preachy and unrelatable.
This book hits home. And is a gift.

Thank you Rox and Rich!

Compassion, kindness

Could be taken as facts, not overly sold on all the symptoms. Was quite lovely with the reminders on compassion, kindness and self appreciation.

An honest portrayal of what it’s like to live with ADHD. I don’t feel so ashamed and alone anymore.

Amazing! I want all my people to read this.

Although I didn’t relate to all 10 symptoms that Rox has I loved this entire book and I want all of my friends and family to read it. Especially people who interact with my son who also has ADHD..
