I'm a Dh D Kid, and I've Copped With It, You Know?

Episode 94 with Ebony Washington.

“On tests, I would read a sentence over and over and over again because it wasn’t processing in my brain. I’d think, ‘I’m smart. Why can’t I understand this?’”

Ebony is a writer, artist, martial artist, and writers’ assistant on ABC’s hit medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy. Ebony was officially diagnosed with ADHD back in 2012 while in college, and we talk all about the various coping strategies she relied on while in school before and after her diagnosis.

We talk about the many ways she masked as a girl, as well as her journey to finding the right medication and treatment plan in adulthood.

And we also talk about working in the TV industry and how her ADHD helps her with multitasking and hyper-focusing in such a high-stress environment.
