Understanding ADHD in Relationships
This interactive educational guide helps partners of people with ADHD understand the condition’s neurological basis and its effects on relationships.

The visualization uses React with reusable components (BarChart, PieChart, ImpactGauges) to render data about conflict factors and symptom severity, all styled through embedded CSS and an import map for React 19 modules.
