We didn’t know we had ADHD. Then motherhood hit.

Katie Severson and Lori Long discuss their late ADHD diagnoses and how it impacts their parenting.
Two experts in ADHD went decades without realizing they had it themselves. Katie Severson, a speech pathologist, and Lori Long, a child psychologist, co-run The Childhood Collective and host the Shining With ADHD podcast. But both received their own ADHD diagnoses only after becoming mothers. They talk about late diagnosis, the shame that came before it, and how it shapes their parenting.
