ABSTRACT
Ted is a highly educated, intelligent person who also happens tohave attention deficit disorder. Despite his ADD, he has managed to earn his Ph.D., although his dissertation took him several years longer than planned. He has been married for over twenty years, and has two daughters, both now in college. As Marian, his wife, has turned her attention away from their girls, she finds herself increasingly dissatisfied with her marriage. “I guess that I was so busy with our girls when they were growing up that I didn’t notice Ted’s patterns so much.” Now, she frequently finds herself angry with Ted as he repeatedly arrives home later than planned. Not infrequently, he calls with an apology, saying that he won’t be home until quite late due to some impending deadline.
