This is a story about my brain…

So, I was a very smart kid. By the age of 18 months, I could speak in complete sentences. By third grade, I was scoring post-high school on standardized tests. As all my teachers agreed, I had so much potential, but I was also struggling simultaneously. I didn't have many friends outside of books.ll.

But I was smart, so nobody was worried. It wasn't until middle school when I was responsible for getting to classes on time and remembering to bring my homework that being smart wasn't enough anymore, and my grades started to suffer.

My mom took me to the doctor, and after a comprehensive evaluation, I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

By 21, I had dropped out of college and moved back home.

Over the next ten years, I started and quit, or was fired from, 15 jobs.

At this point, I was 32 and had no idea what I was doing with my life besides reading self-help books.

At this point, I could have given up on myself; I could have decided that everyone who thought I had potential was wrong.

But I didn't because I knew that it was my behavior that had gotten me here, and behavior is affected by the brain, and my brain has ADHD.

I started doing some research and found a lot of great information. I also found some bad information, but that's another talk.

So I decided to write a book. I had no idea how to do it, but I did! I turned my neurodiversity into my greatest strength by overcoming all the hidden obstacles.... Now it's your turn!
