Fulfilling or Full-Falling: Relationships When You’re ADHD and Gifted! with Julie F. Rosenbaum Skolnick, M.A., J.D. — 2025

In this session, we will discuss the “highs” and “lows”, “Strengths” and “struggles” of being in a relationship when you are gifted and have ADHD. Intensity, emotionality, focus, processing, memory, and sensory preferences all play a part in making our relationships fulfilling or feel like we are free-falling. Grapple with your true self and learn to love yourself so you can fully love your partner, as we unpack what it means to build a life together as a gifted and distractible adult.
