Suicidal ideation, masking, and overlooked ADHD (From Hyperfocus)

This week, we’re sharing a powerful episode from our friends at
Hyperfocus — a deeply personal story with its own
“aha” moments. Inattentive ADHD is often missed, especially in
boys who don’t fit the typical ADHD stereotype. Brandon Saiz
shares his later-in-life diagnosis and what it meant to have been
overlooked for so long.
