Hi Hitch, sorry to read you are having frustrations.

I think reading your last few posts it does sound like your partner may have some kind of organisational problem, particularly when you write he can't put flat pack together.

Yes, it's totally different teaching kids in your professional life with learning impairments and living with a partner in your personal life who may also have impairments - your expectations will be different.

My h has a past TBI and recovered well, so well in fact I often forget that he does have some organisational issues, he can do some things but others (a string of instructions) prove more challenging - it's his 'executive function' which it sounds like with your partner too maybe. I have had to adjust my expectations of him, he can still do stuff it's just it requires some planning (for instance writing down instructions for preparing a meal), it is about forward planning, which can be a pain (& I often still get it wrong & assume he can do things he can't) but it helps him a lot.
