25:37 It was at this moment I realized that intentionally annoying people is an adhd thing! My daughter tries to annoy people and it has always baffled me. To be fair, my adhd husband did this as a kid too. I never made the connection.

I've been following both of you guys for a little bit now. Have to say this was the most useful content I've seen so far. I'm in the early stages of navigating my son's ADHD and this video was really helpful. And thank you for highlighting the Dad's out there helping their kids :)

This episode has finally dispelled some of my myths about ADHD medication, especially long-term effects on kids who are unmedicated.

Good point! No one really knows how their brain works. I sure don’t 😂 all I know is it’s not always going at 100% lol

What if your husband, whom you live with lets your ADHD 11 year old child have full use of the tv and Switch from 6:30 am til 8pm? I’m so frustrated as I have AdHD myself.
