I have adhd too. And hearing her diagnosis makes her even more admirable. She’s truly learned to manage and persevere despite her struggles. Truly inspiring.

She was absolutely perfect for this role, as she is phenomenal. She should win an award, and the series is incredible. Everybody’s great, but she really is awesome!

Wow, thank you for sharing, Zoe. I am dyslexic too, and I have been so ashamed over the years about it. I pass on many opportunities because of fear and shame of being dyslexic.
