Communication suffers when there is an emotional trigger, especially with a neurodivergent person. Something in a conversation will trigger an emotional response. The neurotypical partner might not have realized that the ADHD partner has been triggered or that they’ve said something that has ‘hit hard’ with the ADHD partner.

The ADHD mind is complex. Be curious. Avoid judgement. Be kind and give patience where patience is due.

After all, when the emotional dysregulation becomes really bad and an escalation does reach boiling point, someone can say something in that moment of rage that can be deeply hurtful for the partner on the receiving end and the person who said it will feel great guilt.

Always judge yourself on your outcomes and not your processes. Your process might seem weird to a neurotypical audience, but it’s your extraordinary way of operating that will separate your results from those that are more ordinary.

Once the neurodivergent partner is triggered, their executive function begins to malfunction and for them the conversation stops immediately. From that point, you’ve got two people having very separate conversations. The neurotypical person, who hasn’t recognized the neurodivergent partner being triggered, continues with the conversation. However, the triggered neurodivergent partner is now ruminating and raging over the trigger. They are thrown into fight or flight mode and they don’t hear anything else after that point. Their mind is stuck and fixated on the sentence that triggered them.
