The individual exhibited symptoms of ADHD in childhood such as restlessness, interrupting, and speaking quickly, primarily due to boredom in school from already knowing the material. Their mother played a crucial role by being open to possibilities, seeking help from supportive providers, and joining a community for ADHD families.
