I got diagnosed when I was in middle school.

So I thought pretty young at the time.

I was like 12.

And I had a terrible time in school.

Which is strange because my grades were good, but I was always in trouble.

So I would get kicked out of class all the time.

I was a huge talker and very social, couldn't sit still, like very hyperactive as a kid.

But when I was growing up, ADHD was thought of more for boys than for

Girls.

Is it still?

Isn't it so stupid how things are super slow?

ADHD is talked about so much on TikTok, and I feel like TikTok has helped so many people connect with other people and other communities.

But I do feel like at large, when you get outside the real world, is like so much farther behind than like what it feels like socially, it should be.

But I got diagnosed real young and they put me on medication really quickly.

So I started taking the Adderall and

Twelve.

I took it for 10 years straight, slowly going up and up and up in dosages until I was in my mid-20s.

I didn't feel like I was making a choice to be somebody who's on medication.

I was like a problem kid who kind of needed to be fixed, and a way to do that is to keep taking these pills.

When I finally like got out of college, moved to Los Angeles, started doing stand-up.
