This was so enlightening in so many areas. I was diagnosed at age 59, and I understand myself so much more because of you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping the younger generations. I wish people knew more about this when I was younger. God Bless You!!

HOLY CANOLI!!! Aryiana narrated my life. Every.Thing.!!! I'm glad she was able to bring a unique perspective to this conversation. The different and demanding constraints on black children, to how she coped growing up, to how she is able always relate back to "how am I treating my body, " etc. Also, by saying she was happy with who and where she is now and being honest about how her past shaped her. THIS has been an Absolutely remarkable video for me. I'm deeply greatful and hope she can come back on a semi-regular basis. God bless❤

Ariyanna, thank you for being you! I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 40. Your work and your contributions mean so much to me. Sending you gratitude and well wishes.

I feel like I’m listening to myself talk? Only child. Mom in education. Was in private school until 6. ADHD didnt rear its head until post grad school. My initial dx was major depressive disorder/general anxiety. I’m 32! 😭

I would like to know Ms. White's strategies for studying for her LCSW with ADHD. Im just discovering this and taking mine in June and would like to hear her thoughts.

Diagnosed Mar 2024... the fight for a diagnosis was frustrating.

I understand that this interview may have been time sensitive and the information is very valuable but I felt that it was conducted in a bit of a passively rude manner.
