About This Episode: Mom Heather is a wonderful friend, a warm and kind-hearted mother, and struggles with her neurodivergent child. You will be absolutely nodding your head while you listen to the issues and stories she shares about her child with severe ADHD. Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-Hyperactivity in boys is dismissed as being "all boy"
-When people think the "bad behavior" is because you can't control your child
-When medical professionals miss the mark
-High metabolizers
-When your child is a "runner"
