But what you might not be able to tell from the outside is that Brian also has ADHD. Lots of kids, including Kids Pod listeners, live with ADHD which is also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Today Brian is going to answer your questions about what it's like to be an adult with ADHD.
