How ADHD Perfectionism Disguises Itself as Productivity (Dani Donovan)

ADHD, Parenting, and the Pressure of Entrepreneurship (With Jessica Shaw)
Skye and Jessica get into what the detective process actually looks like. Why parents are often dismissed first and believed later. How the school system's default response to a kid who cannot conform is to remove them rather than support them. What guilt sounds like when you feel like you should have seen it coming sooner. And why the window between noticing something and getting real support is longer, more expensive, and more isolating than it should be.
