René Brooks was diagnosed with ADHD twice throughout her childhood. But stigma and shame kept her family from learning more and getting her the right support. So when she was diagnosed with ADHD for a third time at age 25, she decided to take control of her own journey.

In this episode, René unpacks her experiences growing up with ADHD. Listen as she explains:
The impact of delayed intervention
What she wishes the adults in her life did differently
And why it’s important to build support systems for kids with ADHD
