Like, isn't this going to get repetitive? Isn't this going to get boring? But no, there's so many different ways that ADHD impacts people's lives. But there is that kind of that universality.

You talk to so many people. experts and obviously to women with ADHD throughout the course of this. It's a six episode series. What conversation was particularly resonant to you? I know it's hard to choose amongst

Was there any conversation with an expert or anything like a fact that you learned along the way that just kind of blew your mind, that you had no idea before you started the work on this show?

Yeah. I mean, just the ground that you cover in six episodes is so phenomenal, right? Because it's a show about the rise of ADHD diagnoses in women, right? And why that happened.
