My wife took our daughter to a play last night, so I met with the parenting coach by myself. The parenting coach brought up the issue of whether my wife has ADHD and listened to my concerns. I explained how the "Adult ADHD Special" I persuaded my wife to see has used a checklist meant for kids, not adults. I also explained how our couples therapist--who was also supposed to specialize in ADHD--doesn't "believe in diagnoses."
God, I hope that this parenting coach can finally give my wife feedback that will help her accept that she has ADHD and that it has caused a lot of problems for our kids.
'professionals' have failed your wife

Sounds like your other 'professionals' have failed your wife. Now you'll have to encourage her to move outside the comfort zone (i.e. denial) these people have helped create.
Too bad...

The Adult ADHD Specialist and couples counselor didn't admit they were in fact inexperienced when it comes to the treatment of ADHD.
