Summary

As a surprise to absolutely no one, turns out Tessa has ADHD! Who'd have thought it! Well some of you as it turns out, and god bless everyone who has messaged her over the years to say 'hello, not to intrude, but do you think you might have ADHD?' She does! You were completely right! The first part of this two part episode is a look at what ADHD is, what the diagnosis process looked like for Tessa, a lovely little 12 question quiz you can play along at home and a really long story about a moose.
