"This surprises people nowadays but I was a very poorly behaved kid. I was on a behavior chart pretty much all through elementary school."
Today's guest is Keely, who is diagnosed with ADHD. But when asked what strengths come from having ADHD, she is very quick to identify her own personal superpowers! In this episode, Keely will talk about her early-onset, her diagnosis, the complexities of ADHD, and her current success as an adult with ADHD.
