Kids and adults with ADHD can have a hard time keeping things tidy. Jeannie Ferguson is a Brooklyn plus-model who calls herself "messy". Jeannie was diagnosed in college with ADHD and Tosh has ADHD as well.
Jeannie walks Laura through the brain's workings when she cleans. She also discusses how she was diagnosed with ADHD, her hesitation in getting tested as a Black woman, and the challenges of being married to someone with ADHD.
