I went there until I basically failed 10th grade.

And my dad was like, this is so expensive.

What are we doing?

I went to public high school and was immediately on the high honor roll.

Yeah, it's intense.

Yeah, I mean, I was ADHD, still ADHD.

Or maybe it does.

Maybe we're learning now that our diets contribute heavily to that.

I was diagnosed in high school, and I could not have been a more obvious case.

And they put me on Ritalin to start, and it messed with my appetite.

So then they put me on Adderall, and this is the 90s when it's like... The go-go 90s.

Yeah, the ADHD of it all is kind of new to this world of something that someone has.

And even still...

Someone would just say, well, you're choosing to not pay attention.

And what's so funny or interesting about that is that the person with ADHD myself was always being told that by an adult where I was like, oh, yeah, I must not be choosing to pay attention.

As opposed to arguing on my own behalf of...

It must be something beyond a choice.

Well, I think you buy into it because the way your brain works is that if there's something you're even slightly interested in, you almost crush at it so hard because you're in it.

And if you're not even interested even a little bit, you can't fake it.
