You were going to be, you were going to fish, you were going to build canoes, you were going to, you know, weave mats to build roofs for the house and you were going to take care of kids. And, you know, that was about it. There weren't just this huge range of options. And again, I think it's great that we have this huge range of options.

we were living in that situation. But it also presents so much uncertainty to these kids. They sometimes just don't know where to go. And then they retreat into a virtual world and they don't know who to... You know, they don't have people around all day that they can talk to about it.

So it's pretty disruptive. ADHD, I think, is a little different from anxiety. I think what I tell kids, and I may not be completely capturing the whole spectrum of it, but I tell kids that I was 5'6 back in the day, and I've since shrunk, and if the whole world were a basketball court, I wouldn't be very well adapted to it.
