things like they have a hard time
0:10
getting along with their peers they like
0:11
to be around adults more they can’t sit

1:00
andrea lives in white plains new york
1:02
she’s an hr director and a zumba fitness
1:04
instructor and her daughter tatiana has
1:06
adhd welcome andrea hi how are you laura
1:10
i’m great thank you so much for being
1:12
here with me today
1:13
so tell me about your daughter
1:16
just want to hear
1:17
you talk about her
1:18
so do you want to hear from the
1:21
beginning or do you want to hear current
1:24
because we could be here for hours
1:26
[Laughter]
1:28
why don’t you start by telling me what
1:30
it was like being tatiana’s mom before
1:34
you knew she had adhd
1:36
wow well you know she is a very
1:40
interesting person she’s very creative
1:42
and sort of walks to her own beat so she
1:45
was always very different to begin with
1:47
and i just used to always wonder like
1:49
what was going on but everybody’s unique
1:51
in their own way so i kind of just went
1:53
with the flow but i really did have a
1:54
tough time when she was younger because
1:56
she was kind of like
1:58
all over the place wasn’t able to focus
2:00
on things for long and she was really
2:02
impatient like everything had to go her
2:04
way you know if not she would throw a
2:06
fit or give people a hard time
2:09
just something as simple as
2:11
you’re going to wear this tomorrow to
2:12
school would be like a big fight
2:14
i just didn’t understand what was going
2:16
on and the hyper active
2:19
piece of it drove everybody crazy she
2:21
was always so like really cute really
2:25
funny just a great personality so i
2:27
think sometimes we overlooked all the
2:30
other things that people felt was
2:31
negative she was precocious and just
2:34
kept you on your toes not in a bad way
2:36
always but a lot of the times in a bad
2:39
way
2:40
and you were a single parent you said
2:41
correct how did you cope with it
2:43
especially in those early years before
2:45
you knew what was going on a lot of
2:46
crying i cried a lot i would try to drop
2:50
her off or her dad’s family a lot and
2:52
when i would be on my way home and they
2:54
would be calling me i wouldn’t answer
2:55
the phone because a couple of times when
2:57
i did answer the phone they were like do
2:58
you think you can come back we’re just
3:00
having a tough time i would just say i
3:02
have to go you know just dropping her
3:04
off at other people’s homes my aunt my
3:07
cousins
3:08
i had a lot of support so that was a
3:10
good thing everybody doesn’t have that
3:11
so i did get rid of her a lot for right
3:13
or wrong a lot of crying and i don’t
3:16
know some days i was just like really
3:17
down because i just didn’t know what to
3:19
do i felt like i was being punished but
3:21
you become a parent you have to deal
3:23
with those things
3:24
and so i dealt with them the best that i
3:26
could tell me about the
3:29
moment that it clicked for you that
3:31
she might have adhd so my girlfriend
3:34
decided to take my daughter for the
3:35
weekend just to give me a break because
3:36
i was a bit overwhelmed with everything
3:38
that was going on
3:40
and she was supposed to bring her back
3:41
like late afternoon early evening and
3:44
instead they came back in the morning
3:45
and i was disappointed because i didn’t
3:48
want to deal with her
3:50
and my friend just kept saying that you
3:52
know what’s going on with her
3:53
something’s not right obviously i knew
3:55
what was going on but i didn’t know that
3:57
there was like a bigger problem
3:59
and girlfriend was like does she have
4:01
adhd and i was just like well what is
4:04
that
4:04
and she was like well you should do some
4:06
research on it because i think she has
4:08
that and that really was my aha moment
4:11
because there was like a label to this
4:14
there was something i could research i
4:16
could better understand what was going
4:17
on and once you understand a person
4:20
then you can work with them better how
4:22
did you feel when
4:24
your friend said that to you did you
4:26
feel offended did you feel relieved i
4:29
mean that’s a strong statement for
4:30
someone to say about
4:32
a child to say what’s wrong with her
4:35
well i think it’s better than some of
4:36
the other things that people had said
4:38
when she said it i think i was taken
4:40
aback but i didn’t know what adhd was
4:42
back then so in a way i was like
4:45
well that’s interesting i can now do
4:47
some research because i’m such a
4:48
research type of person and other people
4:51
have said some negative things but
4:52
nobody actually said something like that
4:55
so i took it as a positive even though i
4:57
was taken aback
4:59
but
5:00
i mean if you don’t address those issues
5:02
and it just keeps on getting worse and
5:03
then you’re even more confused a
5:05
positive because
5:06
you felt like you were approaching a
5:08
label
5:09
and some answers yes
5:11
then you know how to deal with things if
5:13
you know what the issue is and you know
5:15
people saying other things negative like
5:16
oh she’s gonna end up in jail or oh
5:19
she’s never gonna graduate or what’s
5:21
wrong with her or she’s annoying or
5:24
she’s irritating i mean those are all
5:25
negative things but if you say to
5:27
somebody you know does your kid have
5:30
adhd it’s not like a total negative it’s
5:34
sort of addressing the issue asking a
5:36
question to see if that is what she has
5:38
and i didn’t even know anything about it
5:40
so
5:41
i said i have no idea
5:43
how did you go about getting answers
5:45
from there i look everything up so i
5:47
looked it up and you know everything i
5:50
looked up it was totally her it was so
5:53
weird
5:54
but i was just like wow this has got to
5:56
be it so then i took it a step further
5:59
and i went to the school psychologist
6:01
and i just said to her you know we’ve
6:03
always had issues with tatiana in school
6:05
and i’m having lots of issues with her
6:07
at home as you know because some days i
6:08
would show up to school and i would just
6:10
start crying it was just like very
6:12
overwhelming
6:14
and i said somebody mentioned this adhd
6:17
to me what do you think about it and she
6:19
said i was thinking she may have the
6:20
same thing and i was going to ask you
6:22
if you wanted to get her tested and i
6:24
was like wow why didn’t you tell me that
6:26
before
6:28
i think she was just trying to take her
6:29
time to see if she could figure things
6:31
out because she was seeing the
6:32
psychologist then and she was saying
6:34
little things about her you know that
6:35
she was very manipulative and for
6:37
somebody so young you know to be
6:39
manipulative you have to make sure that
6:41
you know this is not going to go in the
6:43
wrong direction and right now it’s cute
6:45
because she gets what she wants but
6:47
she’s also young but when she gets older
6:49
it may not be so cute so we did have her
6:52
tested and it was adhd
6:54
tell me about manipulative would you
6:56
tell little white lies sometimes yes all
6:59
the time
7:00
so one day i took it to my job and i
7:02
worked at a law firm
7:04
and
7:05
everybody used to say oh i can’t wait
7:06
till you bring her back she’s so cute
7:08
and you know she could have
7:09
conversations with adults better than
7:11
she did with her peers she never liked
7:13
to be around her peers and that was the
7:14
other thing and when she was around them
7:16
she was always bossing them around so it
7:18
was just really
7:19
odd to see
7:21
two kids the same age and one being like
7:24
the leader and the other the follower
7:25
and she was always the leader
7:27
and so i always had to monitor those
7:29
play dates so to speak
7:31
but one day i took her to my job and she
7:34
was walking around meeting everybody and
7:36
then i think i like probably went to my
7:38
desk to do some work and one of my
7:39
girlfriends there
7:41
took her and was like walking her around
7:43
she was talking to everybody and the
7:44
first thing i said when i left her with
7:46
this young lady was please don’t give
7:48
her any candy and so she was like okay
7:50
no problem the day ended we go home and
7:54
she takes all this money out of her
7:56
pocket i go where did you get that from
7:58
and she goes
7:59
oh the people at your job gave it to me
8:01
so i go why would the people at my job
8:03
give you money and she goes well you
8:05
told them not to give me candy so i
8:07
asked them for money instead
8:10
sounds like there are a lot of things
8:11
going on with that story one being it
8:13
sounds like she was dealing with some
8:15
impulsivity which is something that’s
8:17
common in people with adhd yep and
8:21
one thing we hear about a lot at our
8:23
organization is
8:25
we hear parents talk about kids with
8:27
adhd lying and
8:30
the fact is that a lot of times kids
8:32
with adhd
8:33
they will lie but it’s not malicious
8:35
lying yes i totally agree with that and
8:37
she was never ever a liar but she would
8:40
say
8:41
anything to get what she wanted and
8:43
that’s manipulation yeah i mean and a
8:45
lot of times we’ll hear about kids with
8:47
adhd telling lies because they know they
8:50
did something wrong
8:51
they didn’t follow directions they were
8:53
impulsive these things that you know
8:56
they know they’re not supposed to be
8:57
doing but they have trouble controlling
8:59
them because of the way their brain is
9:01
yeah and so then to get out of it
9:03
they tell a lie it was very much like
9:05
that did she have trouble sitting still
9:07
yes
9:08
she was super hyper so when she was in
9:11
daycare
9:13
they were just very confused by her but
9:15
they liked her they just couldn’t figure
9:17
her out and so at daycare i would often
9:20
get calls and say everybody else is
9:22
sleeping we need a break and tatiana
9:24
won’t go to sleep and i go i know she
9:27
doesn’t sit still and she doesn’t sleep
9:28
i don’t know what to tell you but i have
9:29
to go back to work now
9:32
you have to work
9:33
we often associate hyperactivity with
9:36
boys
9:37
and it’s interesting to hear about
9:39
hyperactivity in girls and i appreciate
9:42
you’re sharing that because it helps us
9:43
bust a myth that only boys are ever
9:46
hyperactive which we know is not true
9:49
[Music]
9:57
i want to talk more about your daughter
10:00
growing up she sounds like an intense
10:02
kid
10:02
she is i mean she’s not as intense now
10:05
she can be but i think she’s learned how
10:07
to kind of make it work for her instead
10:09
of against her and we can say like one
10:12
or two things when she’s getting that
10:14
way and she just
10:15
calms down quickly if you can’t focus if
10:18
somebody brings it to your attention
10:20
then you sort of can work with it and
10:21
start to focus a little bit more but if
10:23
no one says anything you can just keep
10:24
going and going
10:26
and to be clear like i appreciate
10:28
intensity i was a very intense kid
10:30
especially because i wasn’t diagnosed i
10:32
didn’t know what was going on and i
10:34
struggled a lot and i often got called
10:36
overly sensitive or so intense or
10:40
dramatic growing up before you know i
10:42
had any inkling of
10:43
what was going on yeah she was a drama
10:46
queen too she was a drama queen and
10:48
everything was bigger than what it was
10:51
if she fell she’d cry right away she
10:53
loved attention she loved attention
10:56
negative positive it didn’t matter
10:59
everything really had to focus around
11:01
her it doesn’t seem that bad when you’re
11:04
young and you’re looking for attention
11:05
but when you get older it’s just not
11:07
cute not at all
11:09
did her
11:10
intensity get in the way of her ability
11:13
to make and keep friends yes
11:15
so she had some friends that i think
11:19
just liked being around her and those
11:22
were the ones that
11:24
i would say liked somebody else
11:26
controlling them telling them what to do
11:28
they followed her and they didn’t mind
11:30
that so that worked fine now the ones
11:32
that were a little bit more like her
11:35
they were not going for that so you know
11:37
they would fight often i like to have
11:39
all the play dates at my house so i can
11:41
manage them because if she went to
11:43
somebody else’s house the phone would
11:45
just be ringing all day long tatiana’s
11:46
doing this tatiana’s doing that what’s
11:48
wrong with tatiana and i just couldn’t
11:49
deal with it she just clashed with a lot
11:51
of people that had strong personalities
11:54
and i do too i have a strong personality
11:56
so we clashed all the time and i
11:58
remember one of her friends saying one
11:59
day she came home and she goes i think i
12:02
need some help and i go what do you mean
12:04
and she goes one of my friends was like
12:06
you know tatiana i really want to like
12:08
you but you make it very hard
12:10
and i understood that i totally
12:13
understood that but she didn’t
12:14
understand that what did you say to her
12:16
when you heard about this i just said
12:18
whatever help you need i will get it for
12:20
you and she was like maybe i should see
12:22
a therapist and so i had to go to a
12:24
therapist
12:25
wow
12:26
i think as women we’re often expected to
12:28
go with the flow to you know carefully
12:31
listen to everyone’s experiences and to
12:33
be that perfect friend that was never
12:34
her
12:35
yeah i understand a lot of girls with
12:38
adhd struggle with making and keeping
12:40
friends the social pressures on girls
12:42
are tough but she didn’t care
12:45
if she lost a friend she didn’t care if
12:46
she called a friend when she was younger
12:48
and said oh let’s go to a movie and the
12:50
friend was like oh no and she would just
12:52
say fine i’ll go with my mom and she
12:53
would be fine did she get along better
12:55
with adults
12:57
way better with adults and that was the
12:58
other piece i didn’t understand because
13:00
a lot of my friends used to be like you
13:01
need to let her go in the room with the
13:03
kids instead of keeping her in the room
13:05
with the adults and i’m like i’m not
13:06
keeping her she chooses to be here and
13:08
she’d go in the room with the kids and
13:10
come right back to the room with the
13:11
adults i don’t know if it’s that she
13:13
wasn’t getting all the attention she
13:15
wanted
13:16
and when she would be around the adults
13:18
everybody gave her attention because she
13:20
was super cute precocious and the things
13:22
that would come out of her mouth people
13:24
would say she really only three or four
13:26
that’s like crazy sounds like she was a
13:28
really sharp kid yeah i mean look many
13:31
kids that i know that have adhd are
13:33
super smart
13:34
so
13:35
it’s like how do you work with that then
13:37
you know to get them to go in that
13:39
positive direction and not a negative
13:40
direction because you can be super smart
13:42
and end up doing bad things so i think
13:45
the big task was trying to channel all
13:48
of that in a positive way and not in a
13:50
negative way so it was a lot of work how
13:53
did you start to channel that in a
13:55
positive direction did that start to
13:56
happen once she got tested yeah i do
13:59
recall one huge thing the doctor said
14:03
because i used to always complain to the
14:04
doctor because we were always at the
14:06
doctor’s office something was always
14:07
wrong she was falling or this or that so
14:09
we were always in the doctor’s office
14:11
and then she had asthma-related
14:12
allergies so she was always sick so one
14:14
day the doctor said to me i think i went
14:16
there and i just broke down in tears and
14:18
he was just like what’s going on and
14:20
there was always something different
14:21
every day so i just said to him you know
14:24
in a nutshell this is what’s going on
14:26
and he said the best thing that you can
14:27
do for yourself is when you come home
14:29
from work
14:31
take her outside whether it be a park or
14:33
something
14:34
and just run her as much as you can sort
14:37
of like a puppy and i was just like but
14:39
when i come home from work i’m exhausted
14:41
i don’t have time to go outside and play
14:42
with her and he said i’m just telling
14:45
you if you want to do yourself a favor
14:48
take her outside if you can every single
14:51
day
14:52
and you’ll see a better tatiana and he
14:54
was
14:55
so right because she’d be so exhausted
14:57
when she got home basically all i had to
14:59
do was like feed her give her a bath and
15:01
she would go to sleep in seconds and
15:03
prior to that was not the case and she
15:05
had a lot of energy we had a lot of
15:07
energy and i have a lot of energy too i
15:09
do i have a lot of energy too and people
15:11
say that now that’s why i’m a zumba
15:12
instructor i like to get all that stuff
15:14
out you know when you have an issues
15:16
things aren’t going right and to
15:17
exercise for me
15:19
it’s just like a lifesaver and for her
15:21
also she started running track when she
15:23
was very little and that also helped
15:25
with the adhd she was running track i
15:28
think when she was five or six i put her
15:30
on a team and that was a godsend wow yes
15:34
what was her event so at first i think
15:36
she was just running the kids were just
15:38
running but she ran track for four years
15:40
in high school and she was a sprinter
15:43
so she was doing tennis and track
15:46
and it was definitely helping with the
15:47
adhd for sure get all that extra energy
15:50
out

16:54
watching tatiana’s behavior when she was
16:56
growing up what were you
16:58
most worried about i think so many right
17:01
because i think it starts number one
17:03
with nervous that people just wouldn’t
17:05
like her or you know maybe initially
17:07
they would like her but then after a
17:08
while nobody wanted to be around her i
17:11
recall one time her grandfather who
17:13
adores her him and his wife said
17:16
maybe don’t bring her here as much until
17:19
she gets a little older i think people
17:21
just had a hard time dealing with hyper
17:24
activeness the impulsiveness all the
17:27
attention she needed you know couldn’t
17:29
sit still you know if they sent her
17:31
outside she’d be back in two seconds it
17:33
was just
17:34
she was all over the place and i think
17:36
people just couldn’t deal with that and
17:38
i was afraid people wouldn’t like her or
17:40
wouldn’t want her around you know like
17:42
sometimes i would be going someplace and
17:43
they’d be like oh are you bringing
17:44
tatiana maybe you should leave her home
17:46
with your mom or something like that
17:48
that doesn’t make me feel good but i
17:50
understood why they were saying it
17:51
because i was going through it myself
17:53
and then the other thing was i thought
17:55
what if she doesn’t graduate because she
17:58
couldn’t even sit still in school and so
18:00
i was afraid she wasn’t gonna be
18:01
successful and is she successful she’s
18:04
very successful
18:05
she’s actually moving next month to a
18:08
job in denver and i’m just so proud of
18:10
her because it’s a bigger job than what
18:12
she’s doing now and i think it took her
18:15
a little bit longer than the other
18:17
people that started with her in that
18:18
program but at least she got there which
18:21
of her adhd symptoms persists today even
18:24
if they’re more managed what do you
18:26
still see she doesn’t really focus
18:29
well like she’ll miss little things in
18:32
her stories and i’m like but how could
18:34
you not have known that you have it on
18:36
the paper and then when you transcribed
18:37
it then you left it out so it’s little
18:39
things like that and that was how it was
18:41
in school
18:42
it’s just those small things that can
18:44
affect you in a big way but it doesn’t
18:47
seem that way initially she’s a reporter
18:49
no yeah she’s a reporter so it’s mostly
18:52
that kind of stuff
18:53
how does she cope with that she’s hard
18:55
on herself which
18:57
i totally get that because i’m the same
18:59
way and i don’t have adhd but she knows
19:01
like she has to like really pay
19:03
attention to that kind of stuff for her
19:05
profession her career and
19:08
just try to reread things and maybe go
19:10
back and look at things or do a little
19:12
bit more research before she does the
19:14
final product
19:16
she’s also
19:17
let’s just say
19:18
somebody’s talking about something that
19:20
she’s really not interested in she kind
19:22
of tunes them out which is sort of rude
19:25
and you could tell i’m like uh are you
19:27
paying attention she’s like oh what did
19:28
you say so she’s not even listening but
19:30
that’s how she is if it’s not something
19:32
that she’s interested in or like at work
19:35
let’s say that you’re
19:36
in a staff meeting
19:38
if it’s getting boring
19:40
her mind is already gone someplace else
19:43
so that’s a little bit hard for her
19:45
she’s aware of it right but sometimes
19:47
she just doesn’t know she’s doing it
19:49
well the awareness of it is a first step
19:51
to managing yeah of course
19:53
so she doesn’t get upset when people say
19:55
things i think she gets more upset with
19:56
herself but it’s still a struggle for
19:58
her even now because you are who you are
20:01
right and if she’s not interested in
20:03
something you know i can be not
20:05
interested in something and still look
20:06
at you and listen to you and i’m just
20:09
like oh this is so boring in my head but
20:11
she can’t do that when you discovered
20:13
that tatiana had adhd did you share that
20:16
with your family i think i told
20:19
everybody
20:20
it’s nothing to be ashamed of i know
20:22
there are people that are ashamed of
20:24
when they’re labeled and i know people
20:26
that have adhd that won’t tell anybody
20:29
and i don’t think she tells people that
20:31
she has it i don’t think she does
20:33
i told almost everybody because i was
20:35
like this is what’s wrong it’s not
20:37
something is really wrong with her
20:39
it’s something that we can work on if we
20:41
didn’t know what it was how do you even
20:43
work on it
20:44
so i was happy to be able to tell people
20:47
and when they were like oh that’s why
20:48
she does this oh that’s why she ah that
20:50
all makes sense i think people
20:51
appreciated knowing good on you i mean a
20:54
lot of parents really worry about the
20:55
stigma of adhd and understandably so
20:58
there are a lot of myths out there there
20:59
are a lot of misconceptions but your
21:01
openness to it and and pushing for your
21:04
daughter to get the supports that she
21:06
needed
21:07
that’s huge yeah it’s a life changer and
21:09
i’m pretty open anyway like with most
21:11
things and i think that’s why her and i
21:13
are so so close because i basically told
21:15
her tell her everything even when she
21:17
was young and she tells me everything
21:19
and she still does now as an adult and
21:21
people are often like wow you guys have
21:23
such a good relationship all her friends
21:25
would say that like how do you have that
21:27
kind of relationship with your mom but i
21:29
think it starts with being very open and
21:31
honest and allowing them to come to you
21:33
and tell you things where you’re not
21:35
going to reprimand them you talk about
21:37
it you know it sounds like there was a
21:38
very open community that she was raised
21:41
in yeah and look everybody loved her we
21:44
just didn’t understand her i don’t think
21:46
there was one person that she met that
21:47
didn’t like her they just didn’t
21:49
understand her what would you say to
21:51
people who claim that adhd isn’t real
21:54
wow that’s a really good question
21:57
i don’t know how you could say it’s not
21:59
real i mean i have a kid that has it i
22:02
have friends that have it i just don’t
22:04
know how you would say that it’s not
22:06
real i live with it
22:08
every day
22:10
my daughter clearly has it and once we
22:12
knew what it was everybody basically was
22:14
like it all makes sense andrea thank you
22:17
