“Your love is like a roller coaster, baby baby. I wanna ride….ooo hoo hoo hoo.” (The headline’s poetic license courtesy of my husband.)
What’s an ADHD Roller Coaster blog without a theme song, especially one you can dance to? Click below to play my top pick: Love Roller Coaster from the Ohio Players.
I chose “roller coaster” for the book’s subtitle, and this blog’s name, because that word is repeated so often in the support groups I lead, for the partners of adults with ADHD—and for adults with ADHD themselves.

Yes Gina, The Red Hot Chili Peppers would appeal to a different demographic, meaning younger than both of us. Noone is too young for the rollercoaster of love.
Gina,
I think you cornered the roller coaster themed songs!
Give a listen to the more modern rendition of the classic Ohio Players tune by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (RHCP) – “Roller Coaster Of Love”. It may appeal to a different demographic.
There is a sappy tune about acceptance that may be apropo – INGRID MICHAELSON – “The Way I Am”
Ah, but some might feel they are too old for it. 🙂

Good suggestion, Otto. Keep ’em coming on the ADHD Roller Coaster Hit Parade.
Speaking of dated expressions….Arnold, you’re so polite….by “different demographic” I assume you mean YOUNGER THAN ME.
Actually, I was already working on the follow-up…stay tuned.
