felt like she was already a better mother. Cause she could now look at her kids and be like, she's like, I've always looked at my kids and thought, Oh no, you do things the way I do them. Like, I don't know what to do, but she never, that it was only once she was diagnosed that she's like, Oh, that's why I see that in my kids.

Like there's like an understanding, but I relate it to almost everything she said. And also just like her anger at the expectations that are placed on women in the world. Um, we talked a lot about that cause she don't, she was only just starting to piece it all together.

Maybe that I haven't tamed some of the ADHD pieces that I like to think I have. I don't know if that's true in the context of reporting this show. That's a good question. Is there anything I learned? I think it's just that over the last year, I've realized that ADHD continues to have more of a role in my life than I realize. Yeah.

I think I also learned that this, like this wasn't necessarily a learning from the course of reporting, but it happened in the course of reporting was just like some of the bigger things, like I might never actually And I think this is an ADHD thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I think decisiveness is really not one of our... It's not a thing that we're good at.

And I don't think we're particularly decisive people. And I think I started to realize that I just have to make... You just have to make a decision and go with it. You can't always consider all options. And you can't keep all doors open. So you ultimately have to just pick one. And I think that's just something that...

You can't always consider all options. And you can't keep all doors open. So you ultimately have to just pick one. And I think that's just something that...

in the course of speaking to all the experts and everyone, it's like, yes, you can let life like keep. not in the sense of going poorly, but I just mean like let it go in whatever direction it's going to go in or you can direct it. And I think I've gotten better at trying to actually direct it and like make intentional decisions.

Not just like assuming things will fall into place because they rarely do for anyone, but I think they especially don't with ADHD. And like as much as we can make the most of what doesn't fall into place, I do still think that there are certain things that you're like, no, I want this to happen. So I'm going to have to make it happen.

I hope it minimizes their doubt about the diagnosis of women in their lives. And I hope it helps them understand that we don't fully understand ADHD yet. And that the next time diagnosis rates rise, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's just because people want to get their hands on medications. That there's a very real chance that it's because there's an increased understanding of this disorder.

I guess that's really, cause I think, yeah, ultimately I wanted to understand. And I hope that on the most basic level, I hope that after listening to this podcast, they understand why so many women are being diagnosed and that it's not as simple as any of the individual answers that a lot of people often give. It's not as simple as we didn't understand how it affected girls and women.

It's not as simple as TikTok told a lot of people they have ADHD and they believed it. There's a lot of layers to why. And I think I often see it simplified into one or two sentences that don't even slightly capture the full picture.

Yeah, this was fun.
