Asha - ADHD is a Superpower

When she was younger, 14 year old Asha was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). It’s pretty common amongst students, but when you’re first diagnosed it can feel like you are the only person in the world who has it. You may feel like it’s something you don’t want other people to find out about. How will they react? Asha had those same feelings, but in 6th grade, she bravely told her entire class that she had ADHD, and it wasn’t nearly as scary as she thought it might be. She talks to us today about understanding that what makes her different, gives her a superpower.
