Seattle author talks about navigating adulthood with ADHD
Description
Amy Liz Harrison is the author of three books, the mother of eight kids, and she was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. “Getting a diagnosis, it was a freeing, for me it was a very liberating feeling," Harrison said. She described growing up feeling like there was something wrong with her, and like she was less than her peers; feelings that she carried with her into adulthood. Through her diagnosis, she was able to gain the tools to take control of her own mental health. Harrison speaks to KING 5 about her journey and her new book, Eternally Awkward, which covers it all.
