ADHD Aha! | ADHD, working memory, and feeling like a “burden” with Pablo Chavez

Pablo Chavez is forgetful and easily distracted, and he has trouble managing emotions. He’s also a playful, fun dad. He has a unique bond with his daughter, who has autism. When Pablo’s wife Britney noticed his trouble with working memory, she encouraged him to get evaluated for ADHD. Pablo reflects on how his ADHD-related challenges can sometimes make him feel like a “burden” at home. But also how his positive attitude brings joy to people around him.

We learned about Pablo’s story because he wrote to us! We love hearing from our listeners. Email us at [email protected].
