Dear Katrine Nielsen:

People like me, who suffer from ADD or ADHD, are limited in our ability to process and understand complex communication. We do better with written communication than with  verbal communication because the former allows  us the time and the opportunity to re-read, rearrange, process and understand complex information.

You can type all that you want to tell him and send it to him in an email OR you can type all this into a piece of paper, and as you sit with him in a park or wherever, hand him the paper to read. Tell him (type it into the paper as well) that he can take all the time that he needs before he responds, no rush. This way, he can take all the time that he needs to re-read, rearrange, process and understand what you are trying to tell him before he responds.

If you tell him all this in the form of verbal communication, he may get distressed and overwhelmed and.. shut down, and/ or  say anything to get his distress over with.
