“You can’t have ADHD” (Farah Jamil’s story)

Farah Jamil had to stand up for herself when two health care providers told her she couldn’t have ADHD. The reasons cited? One thought she was too smart, charming, and cared for to have ADHD. The other seemed to question whether ADHD was even real. Fortunately, Farah has strong self-advocacy skills that allowed her to debunk these myths in real time.  Farah is an executive coach, ADHD life coach, and the founder of the community groups “Muslim ADHDers” and “Interfaith ADHDers.” Listen as host Laura Key and Farah bust common ADHD myths. They also talk about how ADHD can make keeping friends hard.
