Host Laura Key shares her own “aha” moment in this inaugural
episode of ADHD Aha! Laura was diagnosed with ADHD as an
adult. But it took an emotional moment in her childhood bedroom
to finally show her that her ADHD is real. Amanda Morin joins
Laura to talk about ADHD in women and girls, anxiety, and why so
many people with ADHD are perfectionists.
