Navigating the impacts ADHD can have on your sex life can be frustrating and overwhelming-especially while juggling other aspects of the neurodivergent lifestyle.2 So, let’s dive into all things ADHD and sexual health, shall we? Too long didn’t read 1 On the other hand, ADHD is also linked to hypersexuality. Research shows that people with ADHD are more likely than neurotypicals to develop sexual dysfunction or other sexual disorders. They might also put off starting or finishing a task.Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is most commonly talked about in the context of school or the workplace, but it affects many areas of life-including the bedroom. To cope with this, we have to develop organisation and prioritising skills all of which the person with ADD/ADHD will find particularly difficult because they will often be late for things, lose personal items, such as keys, or unintentionally forget deadlines. ADD/ADHD can also result in impulsivity, where people act before thinking or without considering the consequences.įor people with ADD/ADHD, the world can seem a chaotic place. We live in a world in which time is of the essence and in which both our jobs and our homelife depend upon schedules, appointments and commitments. This can also lead to issues with recognising letter or number sequences.Īttention Deficit Disorder is one of a variety of difficulties associated with attention and focus. Each person with ADD/ADHD has different symptoms, which are also different in adults and children.ĪDD/ADHD is generally associated with the tendency to be easily distracted, or to have trouble paying attention, both of which mean that it is often difficult to complete tasks, remember conversations or pay attention to details however, it can also result in hyperfocus, which is to become absorbed in a task to the exclusion of everything else. When spelling, dyslexia will often result in a confusion between the sounds that make up words, which is why it can be difficult to arrange letters in the correct order. As a result, comprehension is sometimes difficult, although this can also be affected by memory.ĭyslexia can also lead to difficulties putting ideas onto paper. Although verbal communication might come easily, expressing themselves in a written format is difficult because issues with spelling and grammar can distract from writing in a coherent and concise manner. When reading, those with dyslexia will often miss out individual words or lines of text, or mix up the letters within words, which means it can be difficult to make sense of what they read. It is common to have a ‘poor memory’ both for retrieving information they have just learnt and also stored information. People with Dyslexia will often find it hard to organise their thoughts or activities (sometimes because of difficulties with time perception). There is some evidence to suggest that Dyslexia is hereditary, which means that a number of people within an extended family, will experience at least some of the elements in a SpLD profile. Although Dyslexia is mainly associated with difficulties in reading, writing and spelling, this is really because of the way that some people process (or learn) visual, verbal or auditory information and then recall it later.
