Online dating someone with ADHD?

Hello everyone, I've met a woman (30M, 32F) online at the start of this year and we've been growing close. There is a mutual interest and for now we are still talking and getting to know each other so not to rush things. We have yet to meet in real life but we have discussed this.

She has ADHD (not on medication) and my experience and knowledge on ADHD is non-existent. I have been looking around and trying to find good places to learn more about ADHD because it's a part of her that I want to understand deeply.

We speak daily and throughout our conversations and activities online I do learn more about what she shines in and what she struggles with. We have open communication and I've asked her questions myself but I do want to know what are things, ways, ... that help?

I want to be able to support her in the best way I can and prepare myself in some way. I've read a few things and I see that it impacts both partners which I also would like to have some more insight in.

From the time that I have known her I've only grown to appreciate the way how she is more. I have noticed getting interrupted, deviating from plans, rejection hitting hard and more. While she may interrupt me I don't have any issue with it and I'll keep telling her that (this has been a topic that has been a few times). Her telling me she wants to do something and then getting sidetracked so I will bring her to the thing she wanted to do. Her reaction that I remembered she wanted to do this (We would be a few hours later) is something I really love.

So to put this in short: What are good resources for me to learn more about ADHD be it about ADHD in woman, in relationships or anything else that can help me learn.

And what are things that your partner does for you that help you or what do you do for your partner to help them out?
