Well, I have a daughter who's got a sensory processing disorder, which is different than ADHD, but in some ways the two kind of go hand in hand, I would think.

But she, just seeing how much harder she has had to work to keep up with her classmates.

Yeah.

and how she has learned to overcome, but it takes her so much more effort.

It's interesting to see how we end up compensating and then overcoming the difficulties we had.

You've yourself, Shauna, described yourself as the poster child for extreme ADHD.

Was there a moment that finally led you to your diagnosis?

Well, she's a senior in college and she went on to UF.

There you go.

She's done really well for herself.

So can you take us back to what finally led to your diagnosis?

Yeah, I've experienced that before.

Before we continue, I want to pause on something important.

Listening to a conversation about ADHD is one thing.

Recognizing how often effort has been mistaken for failure is another.

Many people spend years trying to fix themselves when what they actually need is a more accurate understanding of how they work and permission to build support around that truth.

That's where reflection matters.
