HHow to ADHD creator Jessica McCabe has been the source of many ADHD “aha” moments — so what were her ADHD “aha” moments? Jessica was diagnosed when she was 12 years old but didn’t start to look into what ADHD meant for her until she was 32. Taking ADHD medication felt like putting on glasses — experiencing the world as everyone else did. But she didn’t have the skills and strategies to cope with ADHD.So, she started making YouTube videos...and the rest is history. Listen in as Jessica answers Laura’s many questions, including: What’s it like for her to be a new mom with ADHD? Does she ever get a vulnerability hangover? And why doesn’t she think she’s cool? Related resources<ul><li>Jessica’s YouTube channel, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HowtoADHD">How to ADHD</a></li><li><a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/adhd-medication">All about ADHD medication</a></li><li><a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/trouble-with-social-skills">Understanding trouble with social skills</a></li></ul>Timestamps(03:08) How Jessica feels about being involved in so many people’s “aha” moment(04:55) Jessica’s diagnosis story at age 12 (06:16) Jessica’s ADHD medication “aha” moment(07:33) The creation of Jessica’s YouTube channel How to ADHD(11:29) Jessica on social anxiety(14:07) Busting ADHD medication stigma(16:52) ADHD and new motherhood(22:49) Going back to work after maternity leave(26:01) Laura’s rapid-fire questions(31:49) Jessica’s parting wordsTo get a transcript of this show and check out more episodes, <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/adhd-aha/Jessica-mccabe-motherhood-social-anxiety-adhd-medication">visit the ADHD Aha! podcast page</a> at Understood.Want to share your ADHD “aha” moment?
