Jon and his wife Monica run Connect ADHD out of Australia. Jon’s a brilliant guy, and we go deep on multiple topics related to ADHD. In today’s episode, we talk about how ADHD leads to our kids’ behavioral explosions, how environment affects our ADHD, the importance of science in ADHD.

I got to spend time with Jon (and Monica. Her workshop was excellent!) at this year's ADHD conference, and editing the show this week felt like I was reuniting with him. I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
