Key Quotes:


“Do you know that ADHD brains continue to develop through our
lives? Whereas other neurotypical people, their brains, they
stopped developing. So like, where you'll continue to have
interests your whole life, like you'll find new music, you'll
find new art, you'll find new hobbies.” - Michael Eagan

“So that's why I won't listen to anybody because when I
listen to people, it doesn't work. When I do it my way, it may be
a little messy, but wow, it turns out a lot of times, I'm better
at things than you.” - Michael Eagan
