My husband has had 3 jobs in as many years. We moved across the country for this last one, got into debt with the move, and he was fired after three months. I am trying so hard to be supportive. At least this time I also have a job with benefits, but it does not make anywhere near enough to support our three children. He is an executive and very good at his job, but his inability to read people and emotional intelligence are really holding him back. The last boss simply said he "shared too much personal information" and that it made people uncomfortable. I think this will finally motivate him to get help, but I hardly know where to direct him. Would a ADHD coach make a difference? Money is very tight, but I would be happy to invest in our future if a result could be attained. He is medicated, but I think he lacks the skills to read a room. He thinks he is very funny, and when he was in his early twenties he was, the problem is that his humor has not changed in 15 years. I am at a loss... thanks for listening.
Fired again...

I'm sorry that your husband lost another job. This must be so painful. Therapy might help with communication issues, but it will require much work on your husband's part.

esb,
Communication issues can be both a counseling issue and a coaching issue. I am shamelessly going to recommend that you look at my husband's website. He is a coach and his website is: www.beyondadhd.com. He also has a background in psychology. If you are concerned about cost, he will work on a sliding scale.
Just a suggestion.
Thank you so much for your

Thank you so much for your recommendation. My husband contacted your husband through his website. I wish I had the tools to be able to help him myself. I think I am going to look into your book too. ;)
